University of San Diego - President's Postcard

Dear Toreros,

Congratulations to the Class of 2022! Thank you for everything you brought to our amazing community. I wish all of you the very best as you embark on your next journey in life. Congratulations are also in order for both USD Men’s Rugby, who won a national championship by defeating Harvard on May 15; and USD Baseball, who won their second West Coast Conference Championship in program history by defeating No. 12 Gonzaga on May 27. The team’s 3-2 win over Vanderbilt last Friday was the program’s first victory in an NCAA Regional since 2013. Well done! As we head into the summer months, I want to wish you and your families health and happiness!

President Harris poses with students from the Commuter Commons

Yesterday I had the good fortune to exchange places with Miguel Hornedo for the day. He took my role as president whilst I spent the day as a student.

 

One of the highlights of my day was visiting the commuter commons. Shout out to Adrian, Karely & Christian for showing me around.
