USD Magazine Alumni Update Fall 2008

Change the World, Transform Yourself

“When Jason Doherty ‘98 came to USD, visions of great athletic feats and ecstatic fans danced in his head.

But long before he began his collegiate football career, Doherty had found his true calling, and it wasn’t on the gridiron.

At age 13, his family visited Tanzania. “Within 24 hours of being on the ground, I knew — even at that age — that my life would play out on that side of the world,” he says. “From then on I have been consumed with Africa. In fact I majored in international relations because I saw it as the best route back to East Africa.” In January 2009, he and his wife, Jennilyn, will open Daraja Academy, a free secondary boarding school for girls.

Doherty’s not alone. USD is renowned for creating graduates who are passionate about changing the world.”
