At Center Stage By Jill Wagner

It is perhaps the only business in which a pink prom dress, a high-speed chase and sheer imagination are part of the workday. A handful of USD alumni show why there's no business like show business, whether they are making music, staging stunts or teaching the dramatic arts.

Dear Mr. O'Brien By Trisha]. Ratledge

Sitting with her fellow undergradu– ates at commencement last May 22, Sherri Bliss was in no mood to cele– brate. She was contemplating her future amid the revelry, and it gave her pause. Little did she know that three minutes of the ceremony would change the course of her life.

Blueprint far the Future By Michael R. Haskins

The days of the leader with the iron will - whether in politics, private organizations or everyday life - are over. Ideas about leadership now favor cooperation and collaboration over coercion and competition. At USD, students in the School of Education's leadership program are throwing away old theories and developing a new model for the 21st century.
