Leading Change: The Campaign for USD

Inspiring Innovation Our engineering students are encouraged to become leaders with social awareness and a global perspective. The campaign offers an opportunity to reimagine the curriculum, build a Bioengineering Garage, a Sustainability Garage, an endowed chair and much more.

At the core of a USD education is to challenge our students to answer two essential questions: “What do you care about? And what are you doing about it?” The campaign creates an engine to turn good intentions into good deeds while investing in individuals and the promotion of core values. Enhancing the student experience by making a significant invest- ment to create and equip dynamic learning environments is one of the main campaign goals. Nearly $23 million in new projects are planned to enhance USD’s infra- structure and incorporate emerg- ing technologies. The result will be to give our students the competitive edge they need in today’s rapidly evolving world. Safeguarding Our World Helping to take a stand against hacking, a partnership between Professional and Continuing Education and the Shiley- Marcos School of Engineering has established a Center for Cyber Security Engineering and Technology.
