USD Law Donor Impact Report 2025-2026

Dear donors, alumni and friends of the University of San Diego School of Law,

Philanthropy is at the heart of what makes the University of San Diego School of Law such a distinctive community. Because of you, our students have the opportunity to pursue a legal education, discover their purpose, and make a positive difference in the world.

Your generosity creates new possibilities, and our law students turn those possibilities into real impact.

During the 2025-26 academic year, your donations made a legal education more accessible through scholarships, opened the world to law students through international study abroad, strengthened their well-being as they prepared for the bar, connected them with meaningful careers, and empowered them to serve the San Diego community and beyond. We hope the pages that follow give you a glimpse of all you have made possible. More importantly, we hope they remind you that behind every number is a student, a mentor, a client, a community, and a future changed for the better. Together, we are developing top-tier legal talent, earning national recognition, and preparing the next generation of accomplished leaders. Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping the USD School of Law remain a place where passionate students can find their voices, strive for justice, and become the Changemakers our world needs.

With gratitude, Debbie Rider Debbie J. Rider ’84 (JD) Assistant Dean Law School Development and Alumni Relations
