' Letter from the )President

hen l reflect on those institutions where l 1 ve served as president over the past two decades 1 l realize that in each case 1 their stories are a mix of comedy 1 tragedy and history. This perspective has been comforting during a time when so many colleges and universities are buffeted by the w ind shear of

our weakened economy. Here at USD 1

the most noticeable evidence has been felt through our interaction with

many students and their families seeking additional financial aid. Yes 1 our endowment is down while requests for more financial aid and more support for programs and equipment are up. Cranted 1 t imes are tough 1 but the experience of having led three institutions has taught me that 1 in every case 1 they survived and flourished despite moments in their narra- tives that were much 1 much worse than our current one. What sustained each of them was the recognition that everyone had to pull together to make it through the hard times. This is 1 of course 1 the case when it comes to the University of San Diego. When resources were scarce 1 as they were for many years 1 our community kept its collective focus on the important things and kept moving forward. Think about the origins of this university. Think of the nonstop labor of the sisters who opened the College for Women 1 teaching by day 1 gardening after work and supervising the student residents by night. Think about the many lay men and women who taught [aw in the even ings after a long day in the office 1 and then assumed teaching ass ignments 1 advising and committee responsibilities that tested their stamina and destined them to lives of frugality.

" ,....~ ' . ' Who would have envisioned that just 60 years later 1

;, .

a university with programs 1 scholars; and alumni of great and growing national and international renown would grace this mesa? Actually 1 as l enjoy my 20th year as a university president 1 l might have pre- dicted this. And no matter how grim things may seem in this economic environment; U SD is adapting 1 as it always has 1 to ensure that our students 1 education and experience we celebrate our own dedication to the Catholic values that our university is built upon by recognizing both the great thinkers of the past and the good work being done on our campus today. As the university marks the 60th anniversary of the granting of its charter 1 we are grateful for those who inspired its creation. One of these was Rose Philippine Duchesne 1 who laid the foundations of Sacred Heart education in our country. When she f,nally arrived in the United States with few resources beyond her optimism and faith 1 she prayed: 1 ~t last we have reached the country of our desires ... there are no diff,culties here except when people worry too much about tomorrow. 11 May this be our prayer each and every day. - Mary E. Lyons 1 Ph.D. improves with every passing semester. With this year 1 s President1s Report 1

Our Oatholic Oharactrr T he University of San Diego 1 s Catholic identity is well-established. USD resulted from the melding of colleges founded by Bishop Charles Francis Buddy 1 the f,rst bishop of the Diocese of San Diego 1 and Mother Rosalie Clifton Hill 1 RSC). Bishop Budd/s dream was to provide a Catholic education for young Catholic men and women of the region. lntrinsic to that vision was an institution that seeks to develop the whole person 1 emphasizing values 1 ethics and commitment to service 1 open to students of all faiths. The university takes the direction of John Paul ll 1 s 11 Ex Corde Ecclesiae 11 seriously 1 and is devoted to the idea that the U SD community must stay current in all aspects of the world 1 s secular and cultural knowledge 1 while remaining true to the richness and relevance of our Christian intellectual teachings and heritage. Today 1 this now greatly expanded Catholic university encourages its students to explore how faith and reason are compatible with education and to develop strong ,~· ' ...... . moral convictions; while being generous in their outreach and service to the world '' 1 ', ~-,,,: around them. <$ P• • :-il I , I ' . . ,·~ C· I "/The Catholic uni11ersily'.1'f Christian inspiration enables ii lo include the moral, spiritual and religious dimemion in its research. and lo evaluate the allainmenl.1 of'wienfl' and technology in the perspective o('lhe totality o('I he human person." - John Paul II.

However 1 such gatherings aren 1 t limited to USD 1 s environsi in 2009 1 facu[ty members traveled to Rome to focus on the origins of Catholic health care and health-care ethics. And 2010 brings a journey to the Dominican Republic for nearly a dozen faculty members to take an immersion seminar on sustainability. The idea for the center was born after Catholic Socia[ Thought was identified as one of four strategic initiati ves targeted by USD President Mary E. Lyons. Through its programs 1 exhibits and events during the academic year 1 the center reinforces the university 1 s Catholic identity. <$>
