Involvement on campus is more than necessary
USD provides 178 different recognized organizations for students to get involved and many of these organizations table during the first weekend that freshmen arrive on campus.

While both of these camps are equally important, profession-oriented organizations do not always acquire […]

Gay and underrepresented
Being gay is very “in” right now. No, really. It is. According to a 2016 report from GLAAD on LGBTQ+ representation in media, of the 895 series regular characters expected to appear on broadcast scripted primetime programming in the coming year, 43 of those characters (4.8 percent) were identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and […]
