POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

For University of San Diego student Grayson Gagnon, science and service have always gone hand in hand. A neuroscience major with a biology minor on the pre-medical track, Gagnon was recently selected as a recipient of the prestigious Kyle O'Connell Memorial Scholarship, presented by the USD Alumni Association and donors to Kyle's fund that honors students who demonstrate academic excellence and a deep commitment to improving the lives of those affected by cancer.

The Kyle O'Connell Memorial Scholarship was created in honor of Kyle O'Connell, the son of Michael '87 and Julie '88 (Belfiore) O'Connell. On February 6, 2005, Kyle passed away just shy of his 10th birthday. Kyle's brave fight against brain cancer inspired a group of USD alumni to establish this scholarship in 2008 with the purpose to inspire students to find a cure for cancer, to provide comfort and hope for patients and their families and to advocate and motivate others to become active in the fight against cancer.

"From the moment I got my first doctor kit at age three, I have loved science and have been passionate about helping people," says Gagnon.

A little sweeter being back at USD. 💙 Proud to have The Mini Donut Company be part of Homecoming Weekend, serving donuts at the College of Arts and Sciences and Knauss School of Business brunches.

As a USD alum, it means a lot to support the school and be part of welcoming fellow alumni back to campus. Thanks for having us. Go Toreros!

As we celebrate Homecoming @uofsandiego this weekend, we also commemorate the incredible ties that link our global Torero network.

During Alumni Honors, we recognized six outstanding Toreros who are living USD’s mission through their leadership, service and deep commitment to the common good. Their stories are inspiring and their work gives me tremendous hope in the power of our community to make meaningful change in our world.

At our time-honored Legacy Pinning event, Toreros gathered to recognize each other and the light that’s passed between family members who share a multi-generational link to our exceptional university.

This year’s Alumni Honorees include:

Bishop Charles Francis Buddy Award
Amy English ‘08 (BA), College of Arts and Sciences

Mother Rosalie Clifton Hill Award
Susanne Stanford ‘75 (JD), School of Law

Author Hughes Career Achievement Award
Ricardo Valerdi, PhD ‘00 (BS/BA), Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering
Seth Stein ‘05 (MS), Knauss School of Business

Emerging Leader Award
Susan Antolin, EdD ‘17 (MEd), School of Leadership and Education Sciences
Sofia Ramirez ‘17 (BA), College of Arts and Sciences
