The Torero Squad consists of over 50 student volunteers. The Squad is led by a Torero Days Chairperson and a Torero Days Board made up of 10 undergraduate students. The Squad is composed of a Commuter Team, Information Team, International Team, Photo Team, Transfer Team, and Transportation Team. The entire Squad goes through five days of training in preparation for the arrival of new students during the fall. The Torero Squad represents a wide spectrum of activities, cultures and interests, yet they share the common goal of welcoming new students into the USD community.
