A gift from the heart Tijuana's Virginia Miranda de Lopez, her husband, their 12 children, a granddaughter and a niece lived in a windowless room built of scrap lumber and cardboard. One weekend in March, a team ofUSD students gave up some time to change some lives. USDForum brings drama to San Diego's growth debate They came from throughout the San Diego region to listen to the first USDForum - the University's major new commitment to providing a public arena for debating important issues. If the first forum is any indication, San Diegans have a lot to look forward to . Three cheers (and three commencements) for the class of '87 Spirits were high and ear-to-ear smiles were the order of the day as some 1,250 students received diplomas during three commencement ceremonies May 23 and 24.
