University of San Diego - President's Postcard

Dear Toreros,

This year’s commencement ceremonies were filled with pride and joy as we celebrated a remarkable group of graduates. The Class of 2025 has shown extraordinary resilience, character and commitment throughout their time at USD.

Thank you to all the faculty, staff and volunteers who brought these celebrations to life and helped make this year one to remember.

As we close the chapter on another academic year, I wish everyone a safe, restful and fulfilling summer. To our graduates: your journey is just beginning, and we are so proud of who you are and all you have accomplished. Wherever life takes you next, please always remember to foster peace, work for justice and lead with love.

Peace,
Jim

James T. Harris III, President
