University of San Diego - President's Postcard

Dear Toreros,

Congratulations to the class of 2024! This year’s commencement ceremonies were especially meaningful as graduates, many of whom did not have a high school or undergraduate graduation due to the pandemic, finally received the opportunity to celebrate their hard-earned accomplishments. Thank you to everyone at USD who worked tirelessly to ensure our commencement events were special and unique.

 
I hope that everyone has a safe and memorable summer. You have all earned it after an outstanding academic year. Thank you for all you do to embody our vision, mission and values. To our graduates, wherever your journey takes you, remember always to lead with love. The rest will take care of itself.  

Peace,
Jim
