~onununity Service While USD is a community within itself, over a thousand students on campus reach out to the outside community through some form of a service project. The Office for Community Service-Learning is the center for these projects as it collaborates the efforts of the Associated Students Community Service Cornrruttee, the Experiential Education Committee, and the Social Issues Committee. Through the programs established or aided by these three committees , USD students participate in BandAIDS , Habitat for Humanity, Best Buddies, and host the Special Olympics. Students also spend time with kids in the San Diego area through the Bayside Settlement House Afterschool program and the Linda Vista Library. In Mexico, USD students work in the Tijuana orphanage and with the Tijuana Outreach Project. Many of these projects are long-standing at USD, but the continuous student interest in community service keeps the established project list continua1ly growing.
