Llllllllllllllllll
First and foremost, I would like to welcome all new and returning graduate students! My name is Krystal Norris and I am the current chair of the Graduate Student Council ("GSC"). The GSC is comprised of two to three voting councilors from each graduate program on campus. These include the School of Business, the School of Law, the School of International Peace and Justice Studies, the School of Nursing and the School of Leadership and Education Services (SOLES), and the College of Arts & Science. However, even if your specific graduate program already has three councilors, there are still great ways to get involved through "at-large" membership. Currently, many of you may be thinking that you don't have one more free minute to devote to the GSC. However, as a current second year student in the School of Law, I know how busy graduate student schedules can be. Thus, I encourage each of you to attend the next GSC meeting on Wednesday, October 20th from 4:15-5:30 in SLP (Student Life Pavilion) Room 412. As many of your programs have just begun, participation in the GSC can be a great way to get involved, meet fellow graduate students from different programs, and experience all that San Diego has to offer. Moreover, involvement in the GSC can help you to get the most of your graduate experience here at the University of San Diego. This year, the primary goal of the GSC is to continue to reach out to graduate students to provide programs that meet the needs of our diverse and growing population. GSC meetings are open to all students and we welcome suggestions, comments and concerns. Please feel free to contact myself, your individual school representative or visit the GSC informational board in the Grad-Law Commons for further information. I look forward to working with each of you in the 2010-2011 school academic year. I wish you all the best this semester! Best regards,

Andrew Gil School of Law
When I decided to leave the teaching profession and attend law school, USD School of Law was an easy choice. I love San Diego, my sister, brother-in-law and two nephews live in Carlsbad and USD is the best law school in San Diego. In addition, at the time I was living near Palm Springs and couldn't wait to get away from 120 degree summers! I chose the Marine Science program because it allowed me to work with scientists off campus, which meant I was able to focus on my specific research interests. I hope to practice law in San Diego and USD’s Law School is on the rise. Of all the schools I visited, I felt most strongly about USD. I enjoyed the beautiful campus, the laid-back culture, and the friendly people - all qualities that I found attractive in a place where I would be spending the next three years.
Thus far, my favorite class is evidence with Professor Devitt. He always finds a way of transforming the classroom into the courtroom and gets you excited about the material at 8:30 in the morning - No small feat! We only have a couple classes; so instead, I'll say I love the hands-on approach the MARS faculty take and our camping field trip to the Salton Sea! Professor Devit; Evidence
Civil Procedure with Professor Heiser. His lectures were always straightforward and there we no surprises in his exam. Most of his students still remember the intricacies of personal jurisdiction and the Erie problem.
Hard to call it my favorite spot, but as far as study spots go it is hard to beat the third floor of the LRC. If I want to grab a quick bite to eat or catch up with friends the Commons is hard to beat. With couches, a refrigerator, and free coffee you can’t go wrong. The Commons is great to meet up and chill out for a bit, but I love hiding out at the Shiley Science Centers Strata plaza or in the IPJ's Garden of the Sea. Grad-Law Commons Probably the group study areas on the 1st floor of the LRC because I am either doing research or holding office hours.
Everyone in San Diego, no matter their music preference, must attend a concert at Cricket Wireless in Chula Vista. But remember, the tailgate is the best part, so arrive early! Hillcrest farmers market, fishing on OB pier at night, and Free Museum Tuesdays at Balboa Park Karaoke at Lamplighter in Mission Hills. Live music at the stage downtown.
Padres games, local taco shops, and post-softball game gatherings at Morena Club.
Enjoy your time as a student. No matter how stressful classes can be, it is always better than a "real job." Take advantage of all the university has to offer, because before you know it we will have "real" boss to answer to (hopefully). Get involved, your experience at USD is what you make of it. There's a lot more graduate programing and tailored events on and off campus than I think many students realize. Get involved! If you're new to San Diego, especially, it's a great way to learn about the area, and make some friends who will help keep you sane during the course of your masters work :) Find a way to get involved on campus. Whether SBA, GSC, or a club, you can find ways to network and have fun, and still have the experience look good on a resume.
It’s a Catholic Institution in a great location. Plenty of sun, and easy to get around town I like its focus on ethics and goodwill USD supported my religious fulfillments in combination within my education. I was interested in the Simulated Patient Program that allows an advanced nurse to learn from actual patients, as well as the International Program serving in Uganda, the Dominican Republic, and Guatemala A good Nurse starts from a good school
Media Law with Professor Semitsu I’ve enjoyed all the classes. Dr. Lois Howland and Dr. Anne Mayo are great! My favorite class most recently was Theory of Nursing Education and my favorite professor this far would be Dr. John Lantz Quantitative Research, Dr. Ann Mayo
Grad-Law Commons The Grad-Law Commons, Aromas I enjoy spending time in all of the USD patios. The weather and the views are always relaxing The Grad-Law Commons

I chose USD because of its reputation, and because it provided a flexible program for me to expand my study and application in higher education administration. I liked the location and size of USD – and picked my program because of the ability to take awesome electives I have been invested in USD since fall 2002 when I came to campus as an undergraduate and studied International Business and Spanish. After three years of international technical recruiting, I chose to return to USD for my MBA because I believed it was the perfect community for furthering my intellectual and professional growth. I chose USD because of its academic prowess and the outstanding attention USD pays to its students. Professor Zimmermann because of his practical experience and energy.
Qualitative Research Methods, and favorite professor has been Bob Donmoyer. I've got a number of classes to go, so I'm excited about learning under each member of the department. International Human Rights with Michael Berry GSBA 512 Negotiations with Professor Craig Barkacs. This course explores the science and art of negotiation and allows students to get hands on with simulations. Advanced Negotiations because of the interaction and hands on learning that comes from simulations and experienced based learning.
Bert’s Bistro The Law School is a perfect (silent) place to study O'Toole’s is the perfect place to meet up after class with graduate students, faculty, and staff If you're studying, my favorite place is the Reading Room in Copley Library.
Eat at the Fish Market, visit the Midway Check out the Food Network rated restaurants Take a dance class at Culture Shock. Try a cooking class at Great News. Take in the views and have brunch on the beach. Clear your mind and go for a run on the bay.
Be prepared to read! Keep pushing forward even when it gets tough – you CAN do this! Don't just build your network in your own graduate program; extend your reach to other USD graduate schools and within the San Diego community.

Student Reflec tion
Breaking G round
University Ministry’s Tijuana Day Trips, September 11th, 2010 Meghan Walsh, M.A. in Peace and Justice
With the ongoing violence and media explosion about
the drug wars in Mexico, many universities and organizations have cancelled their trips across the border. The University of San Diego, however, has not. Even on my first visit this past September 11th, it was apparent that the connection with the community of La Morita is too valuable to forfeit. This community in Tijuana is made up of many immigrants who moved to the area with the hope of ultimately crossing into the United States, along with many who have been deported from the United States. Living conditions are dire as there is no running water or electricity in most homes, and these homes consist of garage doors and wooden boards nailed together in substandard fashion. Education, healthcare, and jobs are all scarce, if not nonexistent for most.
Through USD’s University Ministry Center the volunteers and I arrived at the community center in La Morita and waited for our work assignment. Our separate work groups consisted of the USD students alongside local community members from La Morita. I volunteered to dig some holes for a tree planting project. We only worked for a few hours and I found myself worrying that we should have accomplished much more,
but as I was attempting to dig a hole in the rock solid ground, laughing and speaking broken Spanish with my new friends, I realized we were accomplishing much more than physical work. The beauty of the connection with this community is that I can say “maybe we can finish this in a few weeks, I will see you then”. It is an ongoing relationship, and it is instilling a confidence in them that we will not forget them and we will be back to work with them once more.
In the afternoon, we visited Casa Las Memorias, the only HIV/AIDS hospice facility in Baja California. This disease is still largely stigmatized in Latin America and most of the patients have no support and no visitors. University Ministry came across this center about a year ago on a past trip and has since implemented it into each monthly visit because of the impact it made. Upon arrival, the patients were eager to talk and connect with us, and vice versa. We were there to show them they are more than their physical condition; that they are worthy of visitors and they are worthy of being loved.
After our challenging day of seeing the realities that separate our communities, our group debriefed on the beach of Tijuana and discussed US/Mexico relations in a broader context. It is in these situations that we can begin to ask why- why are our lives so different when we live so close to one another? Seeing certain aspects of Mexico can answer the questions of why they would attempt to cross the border even when they know death is a real possibility.
The thousands of symbolic white crosses that line the border fence each representing a loss of
life shows just how real that possibility is. The construction of the border fence has increased the death toll of immigrants crossing because it forces them eastward into the unforgiving mountain and desert regions. Even with our economic recession in America, we students at University of San Diego still continue to further our education and we still have hope for the future, yet with a lack of proper education systems and a lack of hope for future opportunity in Mexico, we can begin to understand the risks that many are willing to take to better their lives.
On this University Ministry excursion, I was able to realize the importance of service paired with social justice. It was through our service that we connected and formed friendships. We were able to see the humanity and the pressing needs of the people, thus we were “awakened” to this reality. Complementary to service, we must recognize the injustices occurring in Mexico and begin to form ideas, with our privilege of education, to ease the suffering of our brothers and sisters nearby. The University Ministry trip integrated both of these values, and as we were returning to campus that evening we were left with the joy of newfound friendship combined with lingering concerns which are crucial for evoking further change within ourselves and our community.

Research
LCDR Jason McGuire is an active duty Navy Nurse Anesthetist with 19 years of service. He is currently attending the School of Nursing on a full scholarship and plans to complete his Phd in Nursing in May 2011.
His research interests include the phenomenon of emergence delirium in our U.S. military combat veterans.
He is the recipient of numerous awards, accolades, and fullscholarships for his studies and in his work with the Navy Nurse Corps.
University of San Diego, PhD candidate
Magna Cum Laude, M.S. in Nurse Anesthesia, Georgetown University, 2004
Magna Cum Laude, B.S. in Nursing, Regis University, 1996
We are extremely proud to have him as a fellow Graduate Torero!
Research Summary
“Emergence Delirium in the U. S. Military”
The purpose of my current research is to identify the incidence and potential risk
factors for Emergence Delirium (ED) in a U. S. military surgical population. ED is a post-
anesthetic phenomenon that occurs immediately following emergence from general
anesthesia and is characterized by agitation, confusion, and violent physical and/or verbal
behavior. Clinical evidence suggests that ED is occurring with greater frequency among
military personnel returning from conflict in the Middle East. In addition, my recently
conducted pilot research data indicates that ED is a phenomenon of concern among nurse
anesthetists treating military adult patients. Studies show that the incidence of anxiety,
depression, and post-traumatic stress symptoms are higher in this population than in non-
combat troops and/or non-military populations.
My dissertation research will measure pre-operative anxiety, depression, and post-
traumatic stress symptoms, and determine the degree in which these predict the incidence and
severity of ED. Data collection is now underway in a purposive sample of 133 post-operative
military personnel who have a history of combat exposure and are having surgery at Naval
Hospital Camp Pendleton. The hypothesis is that exposure to combat increases the incidence
of ED; the severity of ED; and that preoperative anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic
stress symptoms predict the incidence and severity of ED. Findings will increase clinicians’
understanding of possible precursors of ED, and lend direction to a program of research that
focuses on its treatment and prevention in military adult surgical patients

“Featured Centers You Should Know…”
Can you describe your Graduate experience?
Hailing from New York City as a working actress to return to school after 6yrs in the industry was not an easy decision. Some of my accomplishments include 3 Off‐Broadway performances, a recurring appearance on a popular Daytime Soap Opera, and a few commercials and Industrials under my belt. Not to mention a MA from a prestigious acting school in England and an off‐B’dway equivalent production during my time there.
Why Graduate School and why the Old Globe program?
Many classical training programs do not have small group sizes like the Old Globe. I find working with 6 other actors allow for more individual attention. The professors get to really know what your weaknesses and strengths are and gear your development towards those distinctions. In larger class settings you don’t always get that opportunity. The other aspect of the Old Globe program that I appreciate is that it is a performance‐based program. In addition to performing a MFA student Shakespeare production at the Globe and Restoration production at the USD Shiley Theatre, we also get to spend 5 months rehearsing and performing in the Summer Shakespeare Festival at the Old Globe; working with some of the best national and international actors and directors around. Being directed this summer by the renowned Shakespeare director Adrian Noble, who was the Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, is not a bad way to spend the summer.
Featured Graduate Student: Ms. Shirine Babb
A Graduate Artist and Performer Old Globe/USD - Master of Fine Arts in Dramatic Arts
Did you know? All 14 MFA students are part of the Old Globe’s 2010 Shakespeare Festival, with the renowned Adrian Nobel as the Artistic Director for the Festival. Former Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company for over a decade, Mr. Nobel is regarded as one of the top Shakespearean directors in the world today. MFA students are featured in all three productions: King Lear, The Madness of George III, and the 3rd production of the Festival “The Taming of the Shrew” – directed by Ron Daniels. The productions have been met with stellar reviews for what has become one of the year's premier theatrical events.
Can you tell us a little about the upcoming MFA production of The Winter’s Tale? Now that the Festival has come to a close, I will begin rehearsals for The Winter’s Tale playing Paulina. Someone recently described her as the female Lear or Hamlet… I don’t know how true that may be, but it will be challenging nevertheless, and I am always ready for a challenge. The MFA program is extremely competitive in that it admits only 7 admitted students a year—any advice for prospective and/or 1st year MFA students? The only advice that I can think to give to any incoming MFA student is… you have two years to completely indulge in what you love to do, don’t let anything get in the way of you truly enjoying, exploring, and developing. Also, don’t lose sight of who you are; you are here
because you are a unique individual, don’t apologize for that.
Any favorite performances/roles at the Old Globe?
My most fulfilled role and performance thus far in my first year of the two‐year program was (this summer) when as the understudy I went on as Goneril in King Lear. It was a role that was on my list of Shakespearean women I want to play and I got a chance to breathe life into that character twice.

Grad and Law Commons
“University of San Diego's Graduate and Law Student Commons is more than a relaxed atmosphere to study, it is a wholesome and open community within the University itself. Located on the fourth floor of the Student Life Pavilion (see map), the Commons offers a beautiful vista of the east side of campus, as well as the Pacific Ocean. Furnished with comfortable couches, arm chairs, round tables, and study carrells, students can study independently, enjoy refreshments, take a nap, watch television, and more! Students use the refrigerator, water cooler, coffee pot, and other amenities for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. The large flat‐screen television provides students the opportunity to unwind with a favorite movie, catch the latest sports game, or even stay up to date on political debates. The Commons offers a wonderful break from the often monotonous atmosphere of the library, and many students choose the commons as their main location to study. This space presents social opportunities for graduate students across campus to mingle, network, learn, and simply enjoy themselves. Also within the commons is the Office of Graduate Ministry, which provides spiritual guidance for our students and hosts many events, such as the monthly Theology on Tap. The Graduate and Law Student Commons may be a new addition, but is
quickly becoming a strong tradition." ‐ Daniel Goodrich, School of Law, 2012

From the desk of the Graduate Assistant for Graduate Student Life
There’s no doubt that Graduate School represents a
tremendous commitment. But often it seems that
commitment overshadows other aspects of our life.
We work so hard to be successful that we forget
that an important part of success in school is being a
happy, well-rounded and interconnected student.
Caught between teaching, research, internships, and
study, you are in a position where you have to
choose how to manage all of this and still stay
afloat. We, at Graduate Student Life, wish you all
our best this year and hope that you enjoy
everything this school year has in store for you.
Remember that your graduate experience is what
you make of it! Get to know your graduate
community, get involved and connected and make
your time in USD worth it!
