Torero Tuesday
If you’re a recent grad you probably remember making the calls, and if you’ve been an alum for a while you have probably received one on this campus-wide planned day of giving in mid-October. On Torero Tuesday we humbly ask you to engage in any way you can–donations do not have to be large to make a big impact. Mark your calendars to pledge to donate on Torero Tuesday to keep the USD Rowing spirit strong!
