This is your USD News Minute.
As we begin the school year, the Office of Admissions released a series of virtual sessions, featuring students and faculty, to help our Torero community learn more about what it means to belong at USD. The informative discussions focus on topics such as Changemaking in Action and USD in the Community.
USD Athletics recently announced the creation of the Bernie Bickerstaff Diversity and Inclusion Fund -- a fund named in honor of Bernie Bickerstaff, a Torero great and USD’s first black head coach -- the fund will directly support programming and educational resources for Torero scholar-athletes.
USD’s Urgent Challenges Collective is welcoming The PAX Initiative -- a USD-led initiative that will work to prevent human trafficking and other forms of exploitation through advocacy, educaiton and cross-sector partnerships. Check out their new website below.
As always, thank you for watching and see you next week!
