Our mission is to ensure that undergraduate students from all disciplines have the opportunity to engage in research, scholarly and creative activities during their time at USD.
Highlight of the Week

Timothy Holdsworth, a rising Senior in Math, is conducting research on data science in the Center for Bits and Atoms in the Media Lab at MIT.
