US Bank Instant Card
by Melanie Writer 05 Feb '25

05 Feb '25

Hi everyone, I would like to share some information about a new payment method that USD Travel is piloting. The US Bank Instant Card is a virtual card for limited expenses during a specific time period. It can be used for infrequent business travel or infrequent expenses and has a pre-set spending limit. It does require a smartphone and installing an app. Students will need an employee sponsor. At this time, it's only for faculty, staff and students. The goal is to cut down on out of pocket expenses. This could work well for student conference travel. Contact me or USD Travel with any questions!

Please see the following message from the Writing Center. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Hannah Baldoz <hbaldoz(a)sandiego.edu> Date: Wed, Feb 5, 2025 at 1:20 AM Subject: [CollegeStaff] Writing Center Class Visits To: <collegestaff(a)lists.sandiego.edu> Hi all, Please share with your faculty. Thank you! -- As the Writing Center prepares to open for another semester of writing consulting, we’d like to remind you of its services and how we can serve you and your students. The Writing Center’s goal is to make USD’s students more confident and agile writers. We work with students’ writing in any academic discipline at any stage of the writing process. We can aid students in brainstorming, understanding a text or assignment, developing and focusing ideas, organizing information, refining and expanding ideas, and polishing grammar and punctuation. We believe in collaboration, discussion, and process-oriented revision. To that end, we would like to offer a representative from the Writing Center to come to your class and deliver a brief (5-10-minute) presentation on our services. If you would like a Writing Center representative to visit your class during the month of February, please write to writingcenter(a)sandiego.edu with relevant course information: course name, time, location, and number of students in the class. A Writing Center staff member will follow up with you and confirm the date and time of your visit.
