Your student is home for the summer months. Listen as they reflect on the past year, noting accomplishments and challenges as well as balancing both old and new friendships. Encourage your student to take advantage of
opportunities next year. Students who remain connected to programs, resources and groups designed to enhance learning will be off to a great second year at USD. This is also an ideal time for parents and families to consider getting
involved with the campus by joining the Parent Ambassador Program, where you can volunteer with various on- and off-campus events, even from the comfort of your home. Visit the Office of Parent Relations at www.sandiego.edu/parents.
