~ommunity Service AS Community Service reflects the belief of a "serious responsibility toward all humanity" and the promotion of "service to the community...as an aca– demic institution" that is part of the philosophy and mission of USD. Students volunteer in 15 different projects ranging from one time activities to semester long or year long commitments. The various projects focus on a variety of issues from homelessness to literacy. People of all ages and backgrounds are served, from senior citizens to American Indians. Each project is coordinated and staffed by under– graduate students under the direction of Leasha Morton, AS Community Service Director, and Alison Betts, AS Assistant Director. Two full-time staff members, Judy Rauner, Community Service Director, and Barbara Peterson, Assistant Director, complete the team which not only serves the community, but also the students who volunteer.

Sacred Heart Club

The Sacred Heart Club was originally estab– lished for those students of the University of San Diego whose parents are alumni or those who had attended a Sacred Heart School. According to President Ted Elliott, the club now raises funds to build houses for homeless families in Mexico.
