Southern California Nikkei Association (AKA USC Nikkei)

Founded in 1995, USC Nikkei aims to provide a place for both Japanese-American Trojans and those interested in Japanese-American culture. Through activities both on campus and in the rich Nikkei community of Los Angeles, we aim to promote the teaching and sharing of Japanese-American culture by exploring our roots while finding family in students from all walks of life.

Past activities included:

- Weekend trip to Manzanar, a former Japanese-American incarceration camp

- Volunteering at events such as the Chibi-K Run and the Go For Broke Foundation's 'Evening of Aloha'

- Campus education efforts, especially our Day of Remembrance which involved not only a documentary screening/talk open to the public, but a student-made presentation on display at Tommy Trojan

- Social activities such as a ski-trip to Big Bear and a weekender to San Francisco during the USC-Stanford football game

- Intercampus activities with other Nikkei organizations so members get a chance to meet students from other schools

- Activities integral to the Nikkei community such as bowling, a popular sport within the Nikkei community, and karaoke

- CULTURE SHOW!!!!
