Speaker Series

Scheduled by the WIM Program Co-chairs at UPC and HSC, these series are intended to provide members and guests with the opportunity to hear from dynamic speakers, visit campus venues, from the USC campus. Join us, monthly, at either HSC or UPC over lunch. In addition, these workshops provide a great networking opportunity. We are always looking for ideas, so please send your recommendations for inspiring, dynamic speakers to the current Speaker Series co-chairs.
