For our new students, I cannot wait to see your contributions that enrich our SDSU community. The International Affairs team appreciates your collective success academically and socially. We are here to support you. I urge you to get involved, whether that is through cultural hours, study abroad or the events that we organize, such as International Education Week and the Re:Border Conference. There is something here for you. In these unique times in our nation, our commitment to cultural understanding and broadening perspectives remains unwavering.
