Mahalo to everyone who joined us for our O‘ahu Alumni Reception!

It was a wonderful evening of connection, conversation and celebration with USC Trojans across Hawai‘i. We were inspired by the many ways our alumni continue to make a difference and strengthen communities near and far.

The evening also provided a special opportunity to honor Professor Larry Picus and celebrate his contributions to generations of students and leaders in Hawai‘i and beyond.

A hui hou and Fight On! ❤️💛✌️

“Silicon vs. Soul: Resisting the Algorithmic Classroom” is heading to SXSW EDU!

In a panel moderated by Pedro Noguera, the Emery Stoops and Joyce King Stoops Dean of the USC Rossier School of Education, panelists Stephen J. Aguilar, associate professor of education and director of the USC Center for Generative AI and Society, Tracy Fray-Oliver and Veronica Benavides will share insights on whether AI is a tool that expands what teachers and students can do or weakens agency.

This panel offers a grounded alternative to hype and panic: a progressive lens for deciding when technology deepens learning, when it should be limited and when it risks replacing the relationships.

Mark your calendars to catch the discussion on teaching, learning and K–12 education!

“I can’t think of a better way of keeping her legacy alive.”

Valerie Gómez, a Provost Postdoctoral Fellow at the Pullias Center for Higher Education and founder of Latina Grad Guide, co-hosted the inaugural Latina Scholars 5K on Sept. 19.

The event raised more than $10,000 for graduate scholarships through Latina Grad Guide and the TELACU Education Foundation.

Now in its fifth year, the scholarship is open to Latina graduate and professional students at any university. It honors Gómez’s grandparents, Jesús and María, who immigrated from El Salvador believing education could create a better future.

Inspired by her grandparents’ belief in education, Valerie Gómez PhD is helping Latina students pursue their academic goals.
