Our trip was not something USC planned and sold to us as something to put on our resumés. This is a totally new trip, planned entirely by students, and the organizers were really lucky to get the Volunteer Center to support it. We're all going on our own accord to help out a USC grad with her non-profit, which she started herself after graduating just last year. And believe me, none of us are going to be bringing Uggs.
