THE MORAL FABRIC A modest workshop two years ago spurred a campuswide effort to include the dis– cussion of ethics in every discipline - ideally, in every class. Philosophy and religion faculty are happy to share their turf, and students across campus are learning profound lessons that enrich their lives and their future careers. This faculty-led initiative strengthens not only the moral thread of each academic disci– pline, but the moral fabric of a USD education.

SPORTING YOUTH At an age when most college graduates are settling into their first jobs, Shawn McEachern '95 owns a sports inflatables company that employs 30 people, and is growing fast. PA G E 5

THE SKY'S THE LIMIT Sister Maxine Kraemer '72 (M.A.) built a school from a single classroom and created hope for hundreds of devel– opmentally disabled children and adults.

PLAYING WITH PRIDE John Cunningham may not remember every one of the 1,682 games he coached as skipper of the USD baseball Toreros, but show him a picture from 20 years ago and he recalls the name of each player on the field. Cunningham learned early in his career that once the scorebook is closed and the statistics are tallied, baseball comes down to people. As he completes his 35th and final season, Cunningham can look back on a career in which his teams didn't always win, but his players always became winners.

LIMANDRl'S LAW Chuck LiMandri '77 turns to Saint Thomas More for daily inspiration. Countless others can say the same about Chuck, who has devoted more than two decades to virtuous lawyering and bettering USD.

FAR FROM FOREIGN USD students who venture abroad with foreign study programs learn to speak new languages and understand other cultures. But most important, they learn about themselves through the lens of a different society. As they embrace new worlds, the students find themselves - and the cultures they explore - far from foreign.
