An exciting start to the Spring 2025 Semester!
As we progress through Spring semester, we have exciting news to share. SDSU International Affairs continues to strive to support our students, faculty and staff in reaching global education/research and study abroad goals. It is the cornerstone of the university’s mission of developing graduates prepared for global careers. Now, those efforts have been recognized. This academic year SDSU received the NAFSA Sen. Paul Simon Award for Comprehensive Internationalization; the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities International Impact Award; and the Association of International Education Administrators Presidential Leadership in Internationalization Award. We are proud of these honors. They motivate us to do even better in delivering internationally focused opportunities to you. Let them serve as a springboard for a great rest of the year, with even better things to come.
