Overview
The Dundon-Berchtold University Club of USC is the clubhouse for the USC community. It’s where faculty, staff, and notable visitors come together to do so much more than dine. We encourage you to explore membership and the benefits that are associated with being a part of this diverse, intellectual, and thriving social environment. For USC Employees, their first 3 months of membership are free!
Connections at the Club form over a coffee, a signature Member Program, or beer at our Football Buffets that can lead to interdisciplinary research, life-long friendships, and truly strengthen the Trojan Family.
Taste the Tradition. Relish the Relationship.
