Whethec the sun sits high in the sky and its rays renect in every direclion from the Immaculala's dome, or the sun retires, turnin8 the sky a multitude of 8lorious colors and leaving lhe outline of the Immaculata standing alone over the horizon, the University of 8an Diego remains naturally in the spotlight, sitting atop the hill, looking down upon the waters of Mission Bay. The 1996-1997 academic year has lent itself to an array of opportunities for U8D to cast itself into the spotli8ht. Over this past summer, the Qepublican National Convention, hostedby 0ru1 Diego's Convention Center, brou8ht national attention to our city. The University had several students participate in the event itself, and hosted several QNC related 8roups. "History in the Makin8" says it all in re8ard lo the Presidential Debate held in U&Ds own &hiley Theatre on October 16, 1996. President Bill Clinton and presidential candidate Bob Dole presented and debated their issues in a Town Hall forum, addressing the questions of a panel of citizens seated on stage. After the debate, Bob and Elizabeth Dole, t accompaniedby Gerald ford, addressed the students assembled at the &ports Center. Debate '96 lhrust the University of 0an Diego into the attention of the international media. The University has a compassionate image within the surrounding community as well. 0tudents participate in a variety of service projects throughout the year. including the on8oing Linda Vista Kids Project and the Tijuana flousebuilding Project. fl.n estimated halfof all students participate in community service dul'in8 their years at U8D. 8tudents maintain a hi3h standard academically and spiritually. &hool spir 1 it and enthusiasm are conta8ious on campus, and for a good reason...we have much lo be proud of "U8D has always had a special privale presli3e in Lhe academic world.

Qarely do individuals come alof18 who have such dedication, vision and motivation as Tom Cos8rove. In the over 25 years that Tom has been here. he has been a major drivin8 force behind some of U6D's major

accomplishments. for 25 years Tom has served as the advisor for Orientation, a pro8rrun that rivals the best orientation pro8rams in the country. Orienlation is a direct reflection of the love Tom has for U6D, his job and our students. Iiis vision has shaped lhe journey it has taken for all these years and the numerous chan8e€> it has under8one. fiis commitment to the week has been embraced by all who come in contact with it, from the President of the University, to the ener8etic orientation team leaders. Additionally, Toms belief in student development and his service lo the U6D community were instrumental in creatif18 the foundation for lhe ttahn University Center. Iiis attention to detail and his never-endin8 ener8Y helped in the plannifl8 of a remarkable buildin8 we are all proud of 1have had lhe pleasure of workin8 with Tom for over 7 years. Iiis enthusiasm, experience and knowle~e have tall8ht me so much. I am pleased to see his "anniversary" celebrated in the dedication of this yearbook. I am confident that many more wonderful thif18s await our community under his leadership. By Carol Lyman, Director of 6tudent Activities

It is not very often that administrators have such a direct impact and influence on students' lives. However, it is not very often that students are able to experience an aclminislrator such as Dr. Thomas J. C0c1\srove. Dr. Cos8rove - Tom or "Cos," as many have come to know him - exemplifies what a 8tudent Affairs Administrator should be. IL is not merely what he does for the students. faculty, and staff of U8D, but how he does it that makes him special. Over four years a8o I was introduced to Tom at the start of Orientation Week, square-dancin8 with the freeihman class: somethifi8 not many administrators would do so willin81Y. ThroUfJhout my education at U8D I have been fortunate to experience Tom as a teacher, advisor, role model and friend. Throu8h watchin8 Tom work, I and many others have been able to learn valuable lessons not tau8ht in the classroom. Tom enjoys his work - he values il; it means somethin8 special to him. It is that emotion and commitment that Tom brin8s, not only to his job. but to the sludents he dedicates so much to. Dr. Cos8rove has taken students above and beyond what they thou8ht their potential was: he has helped to build and develop U8D: he has been an inspiration for many; and he does it all with a smile. It is only fittin8 that the dedication for this years Alcala be awarded to a man who has dedicated so much to the University of 8an Die8o. Con8ratulaUons, Cos! By Chris Hutchison, 8raduate student

Tom Cos8rove's 25 years at U8D have sone by quickly. Tom always approaches everythifl8 with a 8reat zeal and vi8or. To him, all students are important. fie tries to encourage students to 8et everythin8 that U8D can 8ive: learnin8, sharin8, joy, love and workin8 to8ether. Tom 8ives his all for U8D, and he has become a fond friend to many students over the years.

America's finesl City is also California's oldesl city. Juan Rodri8uez Cabrillo si8hted the &n Die8o Bay area in 1542, 8ivi~ it lhe name 6an Mi 0 uel and claiming it for 6pain. The area was renamed OM Die8o de Alcala de Hernares in 1602. Both the first 6panish setUemenl in California (a military post) and the mission 6 Die8o de Alcala were founded in 1769. The city was subject to Mexican conlrol in 1834, bul passed lo lhe United &tales in 1848 afler the Mexican War. &an Die8o's rich history can now be experienced as one strolls lhrou8h Old Town. or visits Presidio Park. lhe sile of California's firsl mission, founded by Junipero &rra. The city's downtown business district was purchased by Alonzo Horton in 1867. Much of lhe city's 8rowth can be altributed to OM Die8o' s early connection wilh lhe 8an,ta f e Railway.
