STUDENT LIFE ... Student life at the University of San Diego is coordinated through Associated Students , the student-composed governing body of the university. This group of students creates most of the events on campus including dances, barbecues , and special guest speakers, such as Sat– urday Night Live comedian Horatio Sanz. Off-campus excursions have also been sponsored by AS, such as trips to see the Harlem Globetrotters 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 USO is manifested through the student body. UM provides the campus with opportuni– ties to attend and participate in weekly Mass and offers

retreats throughout the semester. 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 fortunate . UM also sponsors outreach programs , both on campus and in the local Linda Vista community, including tutoring and mentoring. Campus Recreation offers students a way to destress through fitness classes, such as yoga , kickboxing , and aerobics, and through extracur– ricular classes , including ballroom dancing and massage. Classes in sailing , surfing and scuba r':'-Jfl-- diving allow students to get outside in the beauti– - - ful 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 USO community partaking in intramural sports.

Students cheering on the basketball team Sports range from the widely known flag football , basketball, and volleyball to the lesser-known , yet still widely popular, ultimate frisbee and dodgeball. There are more than 65 student organizations on campus , including fraternities, sororities and academic clubs , that are open to the entire USO student body.
