Finding my ‘Encore Career’
“USD was at the front of my mind because this program has existed for 20 years, has a strong alumni network, and is home to the Nonprofit Institute, which is a center of excellence for nonprofit research and education. All of that combined made it the perfect place for me to get the kind of additional knowledge I was seeking.”
Steve Kappes is the co-founder of the San Diego Wounded Warrior Tennis Program, a nonprofit that uses tennis as a means of rehabilitation and community reintegration for wounded, ill and injured military service members, veterans and their families.
