University of San Diego - President's Postcard

Dear Toreros,

It was another highly-successful Research Month at USD with several memorable events, including the annual Creative Collaborations Conference, where undergraduate student-researchers had the unique opportunity to present their great work to faculty and peers.

The USD community was well-represented at Petco Park during the Padres Pedal the Cause, held each spring to raise important funding for cancer research. To the more than 130 Toreros who participated, and everyone else who donated, thank you for your support. Congratulations to both Men’s Tennis and USD Golf for winning West Coast Conference (WCC) Championships! It’s been a highly-successful spring for Torero Athletics, including Women’s Tennis and Baseball.

As we enter the home stretch of the spring semester, please remember to take care of yourself and should you need support, important resources are available through Student Wellness.

Peace,
Jim

James T. Harris III, President
