STUDENT LIFE... St udent life at the University of San Diego is coordinated through Associated Students, the student-composed gov– erning body of the university. This group of students creates most of the events on campus inc luding dances, barbecues, and special guest speakers, such as Saturday Night Live co– median Horatio Sanz. Off-campus excursions have also been sponsored by AS, such as trips to see the Harlem Globetrot– ters perform at the San Diego Sports Arena and bus trips to Disneyland and the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Through the Office of University Ministry, the strong Catholic tradition of USD is manifested through the student body. UM provides the campus with opportunities to attend and participate in weekly Mass and offers retreats throughout

the semeste r. Service projects such as Tijuana Spring Breakthrough, a house building project in Tijuana and Baja California, give students the chance to get involved in providing assistance to those less fort unate. UM also sponsors outreach programs, both on campus and in the local Linda Vista community, including tutoring and mentoring.

through fitness classes, such as yoga, kickboxing, and aerobics, and through extracurricular classes, including ballroom dancing and massage. Classes in sailing, surfing and scuba diving allow students to get outside in the beautiful San Diego weather and learn new activities. The intramural program is an integral part of student life on campus with over two-thirds of the USD community partaking in intramural sports. Sports range from the widely known flag football, basketball, and volleyball to the lesser-known, yet still widely popular, ultimate frisbee and dodgeball.
