Binational Anchor: USD's Tijuana Hub
University of San Diego has engaged in bi-national work for several decades and across all academic and co-curricular departments. In response to increasing cross border engagement and an invitation from Tijuana Community and educational partners to have a permanent USD office space in Tijuana, USD awarded a Strategic Initiatives Grant in 2019. This pilot funding for a USD Tijuana Hub (TJ Hub), a multipurpose space for USD students, faculty, staff, alumni and community partners collaborating in Tijuana based work. The TJ Hub solidifies USD’s commitment as a Binational Anchor Institution, investing financial and human resources in partnership with our neighboring community south of the border.
