It is commonly said that “dog spelled backwards is God,” and for very good reason. 🐶

Local dogs, birds, cats, and a few barnyard animals got a little closer to their creator at St. Ignatius Parish’s annual Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, Oct. 4.

The mass is an annual tradition where people bring their pets to be blessed, honoring the bond between humans and animals and St. Francis’ belief in the sacred connection among all living beings.

St. Ignatius church is wondrous in its own right, but when the pews are lined with bulldogs and goats crowd the aisles to honor the life of St. Francis — in the heart of the city named for him — it is truly an event to behold.

Eight years after graduation, five members of the Class of 2018 reflect on how scholarships and financial aid shaped their college experiences.

🎓 For Catherine Flanagan ’18, her scholarship “alleviated financial pressure” and showed her that USF had a mutual interest in having her as a student.

💼 For Alexis Page ’18, grants and financial aid meant she didn’t have to work an on-campus job during her first year.

🎖️ For Roger Yosuico ’18, Veterans Affairs aid “really enabled my college experience,” allowing him to fully immerse himself in his education, social life and creative projects.

✈️ For Joe Maravilla ’18, scholarships were “the main factor” in moving to San Francisco and eased financial pressure on his family, who remained in Guam.

📚 For Garrett Starr ’18, financial aid was “the deciding factor in my enrollment.” It afforded him “time to read, time to think, and time to learn.”

A new Steinway grand piano shines as the crown jewel of the Presentation Theater at USF.

Michael Stein ’84 believes music has the power to bring people together. His gift of a Steinway grand piano is bringing that belief to life in the newly renovated Presentation Theater.

The gift builds on Stein’s longstanding support of the arts at USF and his commitment to creating meaningful student experiences.

The piano will add dimension to a space where University of San Francisco Performing Arts Department students and students across disciplines can rehearse, perform, study, and gather.

USF's engineering program marks major milestone. 🏅

In just six years, USF's engineering program has grown from a new academic initiative into an accredited department preparing future engineers for careers in the Bay Area and beyond.

That growth was made possible through the vision and generosity of supporters like trustee emeritus Russ Pitto ’66, whose investment helped provide the foundation for the program’s continued expansion.

Today, 84 students are enrolled, and approximately 70 percent identify as students from historically underrepresented groups in STEM, reflecting USF’s commitment to expanding access and opportunity in engineering.

USF is one of 250 colleges and universities nationwide named to the 2026 Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Transfer Honor Roll. The recognition is based on how schools support transfer students, including cost and financial aid, campus life, admission practices, and undergraduate degree completion rates.

USF has been named to the PTK honor roll each year since 2020. This fall, 305 transfer students are coming to USF, the biggest class in four years.

PTK considered USF’s 11:1 student-to-faculty ratio and the fact that USF students have both a faculty adviser and an academic success coach.

Transfer students make up 21 percent of the undergraduate population at USF, which offers a $4,000 annual scholarship to students transferring from select community colleges.

During , the power of education, cultural connection and community comes to life through the story of John Omernik, MBA ’95, MA ’01.

When Omernik began studying Spanish in high school, he never imagined it would shape the course of his life. Decades later, that curiosity has grown into The Little Spanish English School, a nonprofit providing bilingual, bicultural education to children in Mexico.

“I was the student,” Omernik says of his time teaching English. “The students taught me so much. They even corrected my Spanish.”

Today, students who once received empowerment and support from Omernik have become leaders who are investing back into their own communities.
