Likewise, being a journalist in Los Angeles means always being at the forefront of the news ecosystem.

Coming into college as a first generation college student, I wanted to make sure to keep a foot in the community. From my own research about Annenberg, I saw how much opportunity the Annenberg Media Center offers for students to get hands-on experience in multimedia journalism. I knew that Annenberg would allow me to authentically serve the public. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/fb2722d2-d6c6-4b7e-9224-9dc602b71ab4/192655056_img_8169.jpeg Class of 2029 - Meet Seblé L. Major: Communication Hometown: Brooklyn, NY Graduation Year: 2029 USC can often feel large, but the Annenberg community is so tight-knit that it feels a lot smaller. Any time I walk into either Annenberg building, I encounter one of my friends heading to class, leaving a lecture, or studying. I love that Annenberg has such a supportive environment where everyone wants their peers to succeed. As an aspiring entertainment lawyer, I felt Annenberg was the best place for me to begin my career journey. This has proven true with all of the hands-on experience Annenberg has provided me with. From my work with the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative to my contributions to Annenberg Media, I have loved all aspects of my time at Annenberg. Having participated in so much as a freshman, I cannot wait for the next three years! As I step into this new role as an Ambassador, I’m excited to represent everything that makes Annenberg so special. https://www.annenbergambassadors.com/2028 daily 0.75 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/2c8a5d1c-ddf5-40f4-9a51-189dd25be875/Screenshot+2025-01-28+at+4.18.21%E2%80%AFPM.png Class of 2028 - Meet Abigail A. Major: Public Relations and Advertising Hometown: Knoxville, TN Graduation Year: 2028 Coming from out of state, Annenberg was a huge reason why I chose USC! The campus is very large, but Annenberg helped make it feel small. When I first toured the campus, I immediately fell in love with Annenberg. Being able to learn from world-class faculty, listening to amazing panels, and touring PR agencies has been surreal. The endless opportunities that they provide are amazing, from working in the world-renowned media center to being involved in a student-run PR firm. I love how I can use my knowledge of PR to work in my desired field of either politics or entertainment. I am very excited to see what new opportunities come and grateful to be able to give back to this Annenberg community as an ambassador https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/4c07c464-a041-4c2c-b1d4-9092bf02cfc2/IMG_2393.jpeg Class of 2028 - Meet Christian D.

I am falling in love with Annenberg more and more, not only because of the classes but also because of the best people I have ever met here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/484ce57a-2e83-406f-bbd0-395518616c84/Alexa+Headshot+%281%29.jpg Class of 2028 - Meet Alexa R.

Major: Journalism Hometown: Manhattan Beach, CA Graduation Year: 2028 I chose Annenberg because I want to be part of a team of staff and students who help create a unique impact in the communication industry and encourage each other to figure out where our skills can be the most helpful. Before I got to USC, I wrote for and led my high school newspaper but I didn’t realize the crucial role journalism plays in the industries aside from print we as humans rely on day-to-day. Feeling overwhelmed with opportunity, I knew that whatever I decided to join, I hoped to see myself sitting on that panel among other ambitious students at some point too. I am continuously overwhelmed by the fact that in just one semester as part of the Trojan family I have developed so much as a communicator and person. I am so grateful to have chosen Annenberg and you should too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/7c422bd1-d207-432a-9b70-aecc7b65189d/Screenshot+2025-02-03+at+1.22.55%E2%80%AFPM.png Class of 2028 - Meet Owen G.

I was excited about getting real-world experience through volunteering and working in the Annenberg Media Center, which I knew was such a unique opportunity that only USC Annenberg could offer. I also knew I wanted to come to Los Angeles with the goal of working in the entertainment industry, and I knew Annenberg would set me up to achieve those dreams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/3462a44d-4cd3-4f9f-b420-1e8ef1b5d097/Unknown.jpeg Class of 2028 - Meet Cecilia Y. Major: Public Relations and Advertising Hometown: Beijing, China / Charlottesville, VA Graduation Date: 2028 I chose Annenberg because it has been my dream school since freshman year in high school. I've always been interested in PR, communication, and marketing while growing up. After visiting USC and Annenberg for the first time my Junior year, I know this is where I am meant to be. Not just due to the fact that it holds the top PR and Communication program in the country, but also the close-knit community, care, and support all the professors and faculties have for each student. USC is my school, and Annenberg is my home away from home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/c665990c-1516-431b-8e7f-755ec9079c0a/192655056_annenberg_headshot_.png Class of 2028 - Meet Ansley S. Major: Public Relations and Advertising Hometown: New York, NY Graduation Year: 2028 When I first visited USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism as a high school student, I immediately felt it was where I belonged. Seeing the towering screen inside Wallis Annenberg Hall showcasing student and alumni achievements, I sensed I was stepping into a space driven by innovation and storytelling. Now as a student, that first impression has only grown stronger. While USC is a large university, Annenberg feels close-knit and deeply supportive. Professors invest in our growth, and students genuinely champion one another’s goals. As a public relations major, I’ve explored interests in entertainment and politics while building meaningful connections. Even far from home, Annenberg has become my community—and a place that constantly inspires me to grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/77972120-b9d1-43f0-bc2f-96af2b8306be/192655056_bass_lab_headshot_32025.jpg Class of 2028 - Meet Annika R. Major: Journalism Hometown: Highlands Ranch, CO Graduation Year: 2028 I chose USC Annenberg because of its commitment to impactful, hands-on journalism and its belief in the power of storytelling to shape communities. Annenberg doesn’t just teach reporting, but it immerses students in it. Through programs like the Charlotta Bass Journalism & Justice Lab, the school prioritizes amplifying underrepresented voices and reporting with purpose. At the same time, opportunities with Annenberg Media allow students to cover real-time stories, gaining professional-level experience in a dynamic market. USC Annenberg’s blend of ethical journalism, industry access, and experiential learning makes it the ideal place for me to develop into a thoughtful, analytical journalist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/1e566359-65de-4366-b504-50c2df8afeab/192655056_samvitaamladiheadshot.png Class of 2028 - Meet Samvita A. Major: Public Relations and Advertising Hometown: Mumbai, India Graduation Year: 2028 Studying at the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism makes me feel complete and encourages me to not only initiate my own opportunities through learning from more experienced individuals but also strive to open doors for others by providing resources, tours, and hosting panels. Today, PR & Advertising at Annenberg allows me to highlight the stories and gut feelings behind what makes brands great and the motivations behind customer loyalty, which I observed growing up in over 5 countries, to inform my projects in integrated marketing and advertising. Somehow, in between the dynamic and fast-paced nature of Annenberg, students find kinship within a collective strife for originality and creativity. I wish for every USC student, prospective, current, or non-major, to be able to experience Annenberg as I do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/8329f10f-53b6-4369-a4ca-f14f95af3800/192655056_dhadda_sohaliya.jpg Class of 2028 - Meet Sohaliya D.

Major: Communication Hometown: Seattle, WA Graduation Year: 2028 I was drawn towards Annenberg not only because it is an amazing school, but because it truly allows you to choose your path, or paths. From the plethora of classes, student news groups, and resources to the study abroad opportunities, professors, and advisors, the possibilities are endless and you are only limited by the time you have at the school. Regardless of what you do with that time, Annenberg makes the most of it, preparing you to be a global collaborator and leader for your future profession. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/8e00f121-0abe-4cb6-8e9c-4af3c6bd296f/192655056_untitled-1251+%281%29.jpg Class of 2028 - Meet Kaylee E.

Major: Journalism Hometown: Fairfax, VA Graduation Year: 2028 “Take a picture with the person next to you; these are your future colleagues, support systems, and friends.” Those were some of the first words spoken to me at USC during my Annenberg orientation. The intentionally mobilizing words of the orientation leaders may have appeared to some as a menial ice breaker, but for me, they will forever be memorable. USC Annenberg was immediately both a comforting and motivating sanctuary for me. After seeing the impressive media center, I was intrigued, but once I got to know the community behind it, I was hooked. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/c45dc989-702a-4faf-9f43-d49c83daf146/192655056_caroline_headshot.jpg Class of 2028 - Meet Caroline A.

The energizing and supportive environment constantly inspires me to work towards my goals, and looking back, I can confidently say that Annenberg is the place to be! https://www.annenbergambassadors.com/2027 daily 0.75 2026-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a57acc9e45a7cfaa2edda06/1ad7fdc2-4ea1-4ae6-a321-c8f097945b37/Screenshot+2024-03-11+at+3.41.14%E2%80%AFPM.png Class of 2027 - Meet Jill O.
