Launching Your Gamecock Journey Atlanta

The USC Alumni Association, Parent and Family Programs, and Office of Undergraduate Admissions are excited to announce Launching Your Gamecock Journey! Join us for a Freshmen Send-Off Party that will be a fun opportunity for incoming USC freshmen and their families to engage and connect as they prepare to embark on an unforgettable journey at USC.

Join the Atlanta Gamecocks from 3:00p.m-5:00p.m. on August 1, 2026, at Preston Ridge Community Center (3655 Preston Ridge Rd Suite 100, Alpharetta, GA 30005) for a drop-in style event as we welcome our newest class of Gamecocks and their families.

Launching Your Gamecock Journey will include conversations with current student leaders who can answer questions about life on campus, staff members who can speak to any questions about campus resources and, of course, plenty of alumni who can share their memories.

It is a great time to be a Gamecock, and we are happy to invite those who are Going Garnet, their families and friends and our Atlanta alumni to this celebration on August 1, 2026.

A special thank you to our sponsor South Carolina Student Loan for providing support for this event.

T-Shirts will only be provided to incoming students due to limited supply.

*Tickets will be delivered electronically via email. Please print your ticket(s) or have them available on your phone for the event.

Ticket Sales will end 3 days prior to the event, but we would still love for you to join us! Please stop at the check-in table for the team to welcome you!

Guest tickets will go towards funding food and beverage.
