University of San Diego - President's Postcard

Dear Toreros,

As a child, my parents instilled in me a deep sense of civic responsibility, taking me to polling places and advocating for causes close to their hearts.

At USD, we take deep pride in the civic engagement of our campus and strongly encourage our university community to exercise their right to vote and engage in respectful discourse. We are proud of our strong voter engagement and strive to create an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are welcomed and valued.

With Election Day here, let us come together to maintain a culture of civility and engagement as we shape our collective future.

Peace,
Jim
