For you, what is the importance of involvement in the USD community?

For me, involvement on campus goes beyond being able to meet new people and hang out outside of class. Extracurricular involvement allows students to express their passions and interests outside of the classroom and work towards goals for those passions outside of the classroom setting. I was eager to get involved when I first got to campus because I wanted to establish my sense of belonging and join students who were passionate about the same things as me.
