For the first time in 33 years, Easter, Passover and Ramadan overlapped on Sunday, April 17. During the holy holidays, Mission Integration took part in the Catholic Church synod by hosting multiple listening sessions where participants shared their experiences and hopes for the church. April also marked Research Month for our campus community, allowing us to celebrate the work of our amazing students and faculty. Students were also busy supporting sustainability efforts during Earth Month by hosting a pop-up thrift shop, which aimed to educate the campus community about fast fashion. In another round of firsts, the Knauss School of Business held its inaugural 7x7 and V2 Competition, combining the inspiring and innovative events.
Happy Easter @uofsandiego! Let us strive to be beacons of hope and light for the world. In other words, let us always remain “Easter People” #easterblessings
