The University of San Diego (USD) tonight received a record-breaking financial pledge totaling $75 million from Darlene Marcos Shiley, philanthropist and Chair Emerita of USD’s Board of Trustees.
Announced during the university’s 75th Anniversary Founders Gala at Petco Park, the gift is the largest in USD history and among the largest ever given to any Catholic university in the country. The funding will touch several areas of USD’s campus, with a primary emphasis on creating what will be known as the ‘Shiley STEM Initiative’, expanding innovative STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs, and constructing a new, state-of-the-art STEM facility on the USD campus.
