LOS ANGELES—USC, which previously canceled its main stage commencement ceremony amid pro-Palestinian protests, has announced plans for a “Trojan Family Graduate Celebration” instead next week at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
The event, scheduled for Thursday at 8:30 p.m., will include “drone shows, fireworks, surprise performances, the Trojan Marching Band, and a special gift just for the Class of 2024,” according to the university, which billed the event as a chance for graduates to “celebrate your accomplishments in a big way and come together as a Trojan Family.”
