The University of San Diego is an independent Catholic institution of higher education. Founded in 1949, USD is located on 180 acres overlooking Mission Bay, San Diego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. The campus is named Alcala Park and is located just 10 minutes from downtown San Diego. The campus was named after a Spanish village near Madrid - Alcala de Henares. Founded by the Greeks as Complutum, the village was later renamed Al Kala (the Castle) by the Moslems. Christians recaptured the village centuries later and founded a university whose buildings became the inspiration for USD's architectural style.

Under the leadership of Mother Rosalie Hill of the Society of the Sacred Heart and Bishop Charles Francis Buddy of the Diocese of San Diego, the Univer­ sity of San Diego began as separate colleges for men and women. The first classes met in 1952; the School of Law opened its doors in 1954. By the late 1960's it became clear that both colleges would benefit from combining academic resources, and in 1972 the University of San Diego became a single coeducational Catholic university.

Now governed by a board of trustees independent from the founding organizations, USD is a Roman Catholic institution that welcomes students, faculty and staff of diverse religions, traditions and remains dedicated to the values originally articulated by Mother Hill and Bishop Buddy. Students choose from more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degrees programs in academic divisions including the College of Arts and Sciences and the schools of Business Administration, Leadership and Education Sciences, Law and Nursing and Health Science.

Men aspiring to the Roman Catholic priesthood prepare for their vocation at the St. Francis Center for Priestly Formation.

The USD campus is regarded as one of the most architecturally unique institutions in the country, featuring major buildings designed in an ornamental 16th century Spanish Renaissance style. Since 1984, USD has completed numerous major construction and expansion projects. In 2000 the Jenny Craig Pavilion, a 5, 100-seat athletic center, opened its doors as home to USD basketball and volleyball. Two years ago, the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice opened on the west end of campus, and in 2003 the Donald P. Shiley Center for Science and Technology opened. A five-story Spanish Renaissance parking garage (1,100 spaces) was completed in 1998. A landscaped fountain plaza was finished in the fall of 1995, connecting the entrances of the lm­ maculata and Hughes Administration Center. In 1992, the university completed the 45,000 square foot Loma Hall, which includes an expanded bookstore, a larger mail center, classrooms and laboratories. USD enrolls more than 7,600 students who have a choice of more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Admission to USD, which consistently ranks among the top schools in the nation, is highly selective. USD received more than 7,800 applications for approximately 1,100 undergraduate openings in Fall of 2006. The f class of 2010 entered with a GPA of 3.74 and an average SAT score of 1174. " ~ ..... USD has earned recognition in such publica­ tions as the 2006 edition of The Princeton Review annual college guide as being one of the best colleges in the United States.

With the donation of seven million dollars by Sid and Jenny Craig, the University of San Diego received the lead gift necessary to proceed with the planning of the 17.5 million dollar Jenny Craig Pavilion. The Jenny Craig Pavilion serves as home to the Torero men's and women's basketball teams as well as the To­ rero women's volleyball team. The Jenny Craig Pavilion officially opened its doors on Thursday, October 5, 2000 and was instantly recognized as one of the finest collegiate athletic facilities of its size.

The Jenny Craig Pavilion, located at the eastern end of campus between Torero Stadium and Cun­ ningham Baseball Stadium, has a seating capacity of 5,100, a 3,800 square foot fitness center, coaches offices, athletic training facilities, locker rooms, a concession stand and reception room. The arena was constructed,with the university's architectural theme of 16th century Spanish Renaissance, and contains state-of-the-art sound and lighting as well as two Oaktronics video boards for spectator comfort.

This is the second home to USO basketball and volleyball teams, and seats twice the number of fans as the university's old Sports Center. Unlike basketball venues that have the scoreboard suspended over the center of the court, forcing some spectators to crane their necks to check the score, the Jenny Craig Pa­ vilion was designed with large scoreboards and video screens on the north and south walls, and smaller scoreboards on the east and west sides.

Other benefits the coaches and administration appreciate are the opportunities to attract television coverage games, host concerts, USO tournaments and special games. The Jenny Craig Pavilion quickly garnered major attention from around the region, as the West Coast Conference selected USO as the HOME OF THE TOR EROS > CAPACITY: 5,100 site of the 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2008 WCC Basketball Championships, the 2002 California Junior College Basketball Championships, the annual Kiwanis Basketball Tournament, the Darrell Russell Celebrity Charity Basketball game, the 2003 NFL Celebrity Basketball Game, the Official Super Bowl XXXVII Luncheon, and the 2004 Judo National Championships.

The University of San Diego had a solid showing at the first POWERade Collegiate Beach Volleyball Championships as the tandem of Andrea Csaszi and Jaimarie Sutherland advanced all the way to the semi final round before falling to the eventual champion, Nebraska.

The Toreros began the day in dominating fashion as they swept through their pool, posting a 3-0 record.The Toreros upset second-seeded Stanford 15-11 and 15-12 in an opening pool play match, then downed third-seeded Penn State (16-14 and 15-9) and the sixth-seeded University of Florida (15-11 and 15-13) to advance on to the semifinals.

In the semi final round, the Toreros squared off against the Corn huskers tandem of NCAA Player of the Year Sarah Paven and Jordan Larson and fell in a hard fought match, 23-21 and 21-16. A Message From USD President Mary Lyons

The University ofSan Diego is very proud of the student-athletes that rep­ resent our institution on 16 men's and women's NCAA Division-/ athletic teams. These are proud and serious competitors, honored to represent the University. The dedication you witness on the playing fields, on the court, on the course, or in the water is greatly matched in the classrooms, the laboratories, on stage, or in the community. Last year 34 percent of our student-athletes carried a grade­ point average above 3.2, and eight of our teams had a cumulative grade-point average above 3.0. Athletics is vital to the University of San Diego, a way students, faculty, staff and alumni come together as one community. I am both a university president and a Torero fan; I look forward to sharing the excitement ofTorero Dr. Mary E. Lyons athletics with our many fans. President

TOREROS SET TO DEFEND THE wee CROWN The University of San Diego's women's volleyball pro­ gram has established itself as one of the premier pro­ grams in the country over the past decade. Under the direction of ninth year head coach Jennifer Petrie, the 2007 squad is ready to continue the tradition of excel­ lence, defend their West Coast Conference title and push past the Sweet Sixteen round of the NCAA Tournament. USD will look to have a more dynamic offense after losing All-American and the 2006 West Coast Confer­ ence Player of the Year, Kristen Carlson, and AII-WCC first-teamer Christie Dawson to graduation. While Carl­ son and Dawson provided a bulk of the Torero offense last season, Petrie anticipates her squad this year will keep opponent defenses guessing. "Last year we had an exceptional outside hitter in Kris­ ten Carlson," stated Petrie. "We are going to be a very different team this year, which is exciting because we are going to have a lot of different weapons in the mid­ dle, right and left sides. This will make it very difficult for opposing defenses." Petrie's confidence in her 2007 team is shown in her expectations on continuing to improve each season . The Toreros are not only looking to make their eighth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament and 12th ap­ pearance in the past 13 years, but they want to contin­ tion.
