It was another successful afternoon for the USC Activities Service Initiative!

Yesterday, members of the USC Vex Robotics team traveled to the Shepherds Inn to bowl with the residents. Congrats to Team 2 for winning by 5 pins, but all participants were winners based on the smiles and laughs throughout!
