USD Changemaker Commercial Actors Needed
All students, faculty, staff, and alumni interested in participating in an upcoming commercial for USD's new "Changemaker" institutional spot are invited to attend a casting call on Monday, June 4, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the Hahn UC Forum B. The spot will debut during the London Olympic games this July and will have a shelf life of up to two years.
Participants will be asked to stand before a camera and answer a few casual questions, and perhaps be asked to repeat a line or two of dialog. The on-camera process will take two minutes or less; wait times will depend on the volume of people who show up at a given time during this open casting. We are sensitive to time constraints and will make every effort to move people through as quickly as possible.
If you could please pass this information along to any student groups and/or colleagues, it would be most appreciated. Individuals who are interested should RSVP to events@sandiego.edu so we have a good idea of the number of people attending.
USD Celebrates Bike to Work Day
Many thanks to Outdoor Adventures, the Office of Sustainability, and Human Resources for coordinating this year's Bike to Work day! Last Friday, over 120 riders made their way to campus and enjoyed free coffee from Auxiliary Services.
Here are some fun facts about biking to work!
House Cup Victory
Recently, the Alcala Vista Apartments (a.k.a. the Vistas) celebrated the culmination of their year-long Vistas House Cup program by celebrating the Palomar Polar Bears' victory over the Laguna Killer Whales, Borrego Lions, and Cuyamaca Honey Badgers! The R.A.'s worked tirelessly to put on fun programs where residents could win points for their House by attending and helping create a positive Vistas community. Residents lost points for acts of vandalism or being documented for violating our Community Standards. The winning House won a FIJI Yogurt party and their name on the coveted House Cup.
Go Palomar Polar Bears!
