What does diversity and inclusion mean at USD?
The University of San Diego is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive community for students, families, faculty and staff from different backgrounds and faith traditions. As a university dedicated to academic excellence, we believe diverse perspectives maximize the transformative potential of learning, teaching and scholarship.
"I work with amazing people to better understand feminist movements and gender issues, as well as do programming that centers the experiences of womxn. Not only do I enjoy the nitty-gritty work of planning, I love the process of it all. I like thinking critically about movements and language and structures. I like the imperfect ways we try to bring those ideals and thoughts and feelings to people here."
The Greater Good
USD encourages students to serve with compassion, foster peace and work for justice. We strive to help our students graduate with a global perspective as compassionate citizens and ethical leaders. There are many opportunities to work together to address social justice issues in our community and in the wider world. Learn more.
