Mary Lyons has taken the helm of the University of San Diego, becoming its third president since the Catholic college merged its men’s and women’s programs in 1972.

“This university can be a mediating influence on behalf of many of its own neighbors who are poor, sick or culturally or linguistically isolated,” she said.
