USD President's Report and Honor Roll of Donors 1993

SCOTT SHUFORD, STUDENT IN THE MIGRANT HEALTH CARE OPTION

+ Three major USO annual events - Commencement Weekend, Family Weekend and Homecoming Weekend - draw throngs of out-of-town vi i- tor to San Diego fo r a duration of two day or more. Many U D student contribute to the local economy either through part- time jobs or through unpaid internships. Burke also has discovered that people who come to San Diego to visit USO sometimes stay a while and boost the economy in the long run . "Over the years, I have met people who fe ll in love with San Diego afte r their kids start- ed attending USO, and who wound up starting businesses here or buying vaca- tion homes here," he says. THE GIFT OF PUBLIC ENLIGHTENMENT When the San Diego City Council approached USO in September 1993 with a request to hold two special public hearings on campus, city officials were sur- prised by how quickly event planners lined up the Hahn University Center, arranged seating and refreshments for up to 400 citizens (and news crews), and recruited student vo lunteers as on-site helpers. "We've had plenty of expe rience in se tting up for large pub lic forums," says Greg Zackowsk i, director of operations and special events. "As we reminded the C ity Council represen tatives, this campus was fully prepared to host one of the 1992 presidential deba tes." Alcala Park proudly serves as a regional center for public enlightenment through programs and activities that are open to all at little or no cost. Three USD lecture series have given local audiences an opportunity to hear nationally renowned speakers: The athanicl L. athanson Memorial Lecture erie · at the School of Law brought two U.S . Supreme Court justices to USO in two successive years: andra Day O'Connor in 1992 and Harry A. Blackmun in 1993. The Sharon S icgan Memorial Lecture cries at the chool of Law most recently brought Milton Friedman, obel Memorial Pri:e laureate in economic ·cience, to an Diego in 1991. The annual Philip Y. Hahn chool of Nu1.. ing Lecture hip has featured such distinguished nur ·ing educato rs as C laire M. Fagin, the current interim president of the Univecity of Pennsylvania. And at the School of Education, each recipient of the DeForest L. Strunk Endowed Chair in Special Education typically caps his or her semes ter at USO with two free public lectures. Eleanor Guetzloe, the 1992-93 recipient, lec- tured on "Aggress iveness and Adolescents" and "Suicide and Ado lescents." Two of USD's greatest public resources are its libraries, the Helen K. and James S. Copley Library and the Katherine M. and George M. Pardee Jr. Legal Research Center. "People from all over the San Diego area use the Copley Lib rary for its unique book co llection," says university librarian Ed Starkey. "And the LRC is widely recogn ized as the stronges t legal collection in the region. "
