This is your USD News Minute.

Last week, several science clubs at USD attended the Festival of Science and Engineering at Petco Park. USD students interacted with kids who visited their booth, showcasing exciting science experiments to inspire their curiosity in STEM. 

Philanthropist and Chair Emerita Darlene Marcos Shiley was named a 'Top 50' philanthropist by The Chronicle of Philanthropy. In November, Shiley announced a record-breaking pledge to USD that will advance our STEM education programs on campus. 

Meanwhile, USD President James Harris was recognized by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, earning the Executive Leadership Award for the group’s western district.
