Congratulations graduates! Commencement ceremonies begin this weekend – the first of two weekends of celebrations at USD’s Jenny Craig Pavilion. School of Law students and students from graduate programs at SOLES and Professional and Continuing Education will be walking across the commencement stage first. Ahead of the ceremonies, the USD News Center will be highlighting graduates from each school, so be sure to check out those amazing stories.

USD graduating senior Cristian St. Clair spent last Wednesday as “President for a Day.” He swapped places with USD President James T. Harris III who in turn had the opportunity to walk a day in his shoes. This year, St. Clair had a busy schedule attending various meetings and events while President Harris visited one of his classes and met with student leaders at the Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering. St. Clair is the first engineering student to be selected for President for a Day. 

USD’s Torero Racing team returned to San Diego last week after placing 6th in the endurance event at the Society of Automotive Engineers competition in Arizona. Out of 69 cars, endurance is the longest and toughest event—and this marks USD’s first top-10 finish in that event.

As always, thank you for watching. We’ll see you next week.
