USC activities have inherent risks. USC strives to provide a safe environment for anyone involved in any of its activities with the resources it has available. However, it is not possible, nor in keeping with this kind of club for it to be held responsible for personal safety. Please come to USC with the understanding that attendance at USC activities is done so at the individual’s own risk.
