"USD has helped me grow in every dimension of my academic and personal journey, easing my transition from Mexico into the USA with its supportive professors and community. Through lab assisting, tutoring, and collaborative projects, I've been able to give back to the community. Being a part of campus groups such as the Society of Hispanic Engineers (SHPE) and Theta Tau have deepened my sense of belonging, inspiring me to not only grow but also lead others along the way."

“Since the beginning of my time at USD, I have felt so much support from the community I found on campus. Being part of multicultural orgs like the Filipino Ugnayan Student Association (FUSO) and People of the Islands Club (POI) has cultivated cherished friendships of mine and always feels like a home away from home. Opportunities like summer research and participating in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE) has helped me strengthen my professional skills and connect with inspiring individuals. Through it all, I've found a passionate community that continues to shape my college experience in meaningful ways.”

"As a transfer student, I wanted to start strong academically, so I frequently utilized campus resources like the Math Learning Center (MLC) and the Linux Lab. I was intentional about building relationships with faculty and quickly became involved with the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). Student Support Services (SSS) became a beacon of guidance and resources, helping me navigate my academic journey with confidence."
