This powerful initiative will change lives.

As part of its core value in Championing a Culture of Diversity and Inclusion, USD Athletics formed the new Bernie Bickerstaff Diversity and Inclusion Fund in the summer of 2020 to directly support programming and educational resources for Torero scholar-athletes.

Named in honor of one of the greatest Toreros of all-time, the fund provides holistic support, education, leadership and advocacy training for Torero scholar-athletes, coaches and staff while also celebrating and empowering the USD Athletics community.

In the legacy of Bickerstaff - USD’s first Black head coach, a former team captain and player, and a USD and WCC Hall of Famer - supporters of this fund will ensure Torero scholar-athletes can effect positive change in our community.
