*NOTE: Due to icy conditions, this trip was changed from Icehouse Canyon to Josephine Peak
Join higher education professor and associate dean of the Graduate School Julie Posselt on an 8-mile out-and-back hike to Josephine Peak. We'll start from the trailhead and hike about 4 miles of incline to reach the peak, which is a perfect spot for lunch and views, before returning 4 miles back down to the trailhead again. It’ll be a beautiful, moderate hike!

PROFESSOR: Julie Posselt
DEPARTMENT: Education; Associate Dean of the USC Graduate School
Professor Posselt has been on the faculty at USC since 2016. She’s been an outdoorsy type all her life, but really got into hiking & peak bagging while living in Colorado from 2003-2007. She earned her PhD from the University of Michigan and did a postdoctoral fellowship with the National Academy of Education on graduate student mental health. She’s the mother of one excellent teenager, the author of two excellent books, and the co-editor of a third (also excellent). Ask her anything about graduate school (especially graduate admissions); diversity, equity, and inclusion; or the best food in LA to enjoy during or after a hike.
PEAK: Josephine Peak
DIFFICULTY: 4/5
SCENERY: Wide views of the Los Angeles Basin and San Gabriel Mountains!
