10-Common-Travel-Mistakes-You-Can-AvoidFor all of you who are planning on applying for Fall 2015, you may want to read through this post to see when USC and the Viterbi School of Engineering will be in your neck of the woods… we will be racking up some airline miles in the coming weeks!

Starting at the end of September, all of us in Viterbi Admission will be joining the ranks of a number of other USC Admission & Financial Aid staff to meet with you.  We will be hosting 2-hour information sessions in hotels across the country that will cover the USC application process, financial aid, life on campus, and a special session on the USC Viterbi School of Engineering at each of the programs below!

Our engineering discussion will highlight our academic programs while also helping you to better understand whether the Viterbi Experience is right for you.  We will discuss how students combine engineering with other disciplines such as Theater, Music, Business, International Relations, Psychology, or even Cinema in addition to studying abroad in countries such as China, South Africa, Australia, and across Europe.

I hope you will join us at one of the locations below.  RSVP and register for any of these locations by visiting our #DiscoverUSC information page.

Paul Ledesma

As Executive Director, Paul oversees Undergraduate Admission for all programs at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. He was born and raised in southern California and is a lifetime Dodgers fan. He enjoys traveling (Italy may be a second home), discovering new restaurants in LA (tacos anyone?), and while he may not qualify as a bonafide movie-buff, he loves movies (especially comic book movies). He studied Psychology for his bachelor's degree, minored in Public Management, and was active in leadership for community service groups Troy Camp and Dance Marathon while attending USC. When he's not working he enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter, and rescued pup and kitty in Redondo Beach, CA. (well, maybe not the cat so much) Preferred Pronouns: he/him/his
