Fellow Toreros,
980 days. Give or take, those are all the days that we have in college. If you’re a sophomore you only have 735 left. If you’re a junior you have 490. If you’re a senior you still have 245. How we spend our days is truly how we live our lives.
No matter where you are in your college journey, it is my pleasure to welcome you to a new year at the University of San Diego. Our campus is always pretty, but our campus is beautiful when all of you are here.
For those of us arriving to campus, September marks a coming home. Back to delicious meals at the SLP, student organization meetings, and yearlong beach weather. For those of you in the global community, let the world be your classroom! We can’t wait to welcome you back home and hear about everything you have learned in this transformative experience.
I encourage you to spend one of your days at the Alcalá Bazaar on Tuesday, September 10th from 11:30am – 2:30pm on Torero Way. The Bazaar is a USD tradition that brings all of our clubs and organizations together to provide students with information on how to get involved, as well as information about upcoming events and activities. I also invite you to attend the “Welcome Week” events. AS and TPB have been planning a number of activities for new and returning students over the next 12 days.
I am honored to serve you as President of Associated Students this year. As your student government representatives, AS is here to make sure you have the best possible experience at USD and focuses on two facets of student life – policy and programming. Stop by our table at the Bazaar or visit us on the 3rd floor SLP and introduce yourself! Also, be sure to like the Associated Students Facebook page to stay in the loop on everything AS and the Torero Program Board Facebook page so you don’t miss any campus-wide event updates.
I am excited for what is in store this year at USD because truly, the best is yet to come.
Stay Blue,
Alex Hermann, ‘14
