Honoring the Past Transforming the Future School of Leadership and Education Sciences

In April 2006, the University of San Diego broke ground on a new building for the School of Leadership and Education Sciences (SOLES). This critically needed 80,000-square-foot-facility marks a new era in educational leadership at USD. The impetus for this growth can be traced to the San Diego College for Women and the influence of Mother Rosalie Hill and the Religious of the Sacred Heart. The then Department of Education — which prepared young women to be classroom teachers — helped make SOLES what it is today: a nationwide model noted for outstanding programs and innovative leadership training. As we honor the vision of Mother Hill and the Religious of the Sacred Heart, we invite you to join USD in making this exciting new building possible. For more information please contact Gary A.
