The Lenten season offers us a moment of reflection before heading into the celebrations of Passover and Easter. Looking back, March brought many new opportunities for students to expand their skills and network. USD's School of Law hosted its 4th annual Class Action Law Forum, bringing together prestigious speakers who provided a wealth of knowledge to attendees. Our National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) chapter attended the 48th annual NSBE convention in Anaheim, with 12 students receiving job offers. Students for Life also hosted its annual LIFE Week, a week of events dedicated to engaging the USD community in service and education on various issues that impact the dignity of human life. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Passover and Easter!
