Breakfast with USC VEDA

Come meet the team leading the study of the business of blockchain at USC — and learn how to get involved and become part of the blockchain ecosystem on campus. VEDA (the VanEck Digital Assets Initiative) is USC Marshall's hub for blockchain, digital assets, and Web3 education, research, and industry partnerships. It's also a chance to say hello to VEDA's new Director, Lan Luo, over coffee.
