USD celebrates annual homecoming and family weekend
In a spectacular celebration of spirit and tradition, the University of San Diego's annual Homecoming and Family Weekend brought the Torero community together for three days of unforgettable festivities.
From the heartfelt Legacy Pinning Ceremony to the lively Big Blue Bash Student Concert, the campus was abuzz with excitement. Alumni and families reconnected over laughter and memories at the Torero Tailgate, cheered USD's football and women's volleyball teams, and joined in prayer at the Alumni and Family Mass.
Every moment was a testament to the enduring spirit of the USD family and its 75 years of lighting the way forward.
