Taylor DeGuzman ’22
Communication Studies
“While visiting USD, I repeatedly heard how beneficial the small class sizes and 1-on-1 interactions with professors were for Toreros; they said it helped them feel ‘seen’ by their professors. Two years later, I know what they shared is true.”
“My professors are always pushing me to thrive — as a student and a person.”
