    Farewell Daniela, Hello Eric
    We say our goodbye to one of our pre-law advisors, Daniela Ochoa.  She has been an invaluable asset to the Pre-Law Team for over a year. She will be greatly missed. 
    As we move into the new year, we welcome our new advisor, Eric Greer.
    Eric Greer is a California native who completed his B.A. in Communications at Humboldt State University. After graduating, his desire to live abroad led him to South Korea, Australia and Dubai where he worked as an instructor and academic/career counselor. During his 7 years as an expatriate, he pursued an M.S. in Human Behavior from Capella University and completed it shortly after relocating back to Los Angeles. With nearly 10 years of experience in education, Eric is excited to be advising our Pre-Law, American Studies & Ethnicity, and Comparative Literature majors and minors by assisting them make the most of their academic experience at USC.
