Discover the SDSU Gateway to the World and learn about SDSU travel study opportunities open to both students and the San Diego Community by visiting the Extended Studies Center. Information will be provided throughout the day using written material, period presentations, music, videos, and food to increase cultural awareness of selected international countries represented in our student body and/or where we conduct study abroad/international student exchanges.
