SDSU Ambassadors

The SDSU Ambassadors are the official student representatives, tour guides and orientation leaders of San Diego State University. The SDSU Ambassadors are currently comprised of more than 100 students who are dedicated, passionate and knowledgeable about San Diego State University. Members represent all colleges on campus and a wide variety of disciplines.

The SDSU Ambassadors are managed out of the Office of New Student and Parent Programs in the Division of Student Affairs & Campus Diversity.

Campus Tours

The SDSU Ambassadors are a highly selective group of students who are specially trained to be the official student representatives, tour guides and orientation leaders of San Diego State University. The SDSU Ambassadors provide campus tours to prospective students and their families. These one-hour long walking tours cover the central part of campus and include narration on the history and traditions of the university while highlighting academic programs, student support services, campus facilities and campus life. If you are interested in scheduling a tour for your family or a group, please visit our Campus Tours page for details and a schedule of campus tours.

New Student Orientation

In addition to campus tours, the Ambassadors work at New Student Orientation for both freshmen, transfer students and parents. In this role, they help new students and parents understand graduation requirements and the course registration process, ensuring a smooth transition to SDSU.

Campus Events

The SDSU Ambassadors also assist the university in carrying out a variety of events held year-round. These include: Explore SDSU, New Student and Family Convocation, Welcome Week, Aztec Nights, Homecoming, Family Weekend, athletic events, Commencement and other campus events and activities as needed. The SDSU Ambassadors’ involvement doesn’t stop on the SDSU campus, as they are involved in extensive community service work with local elementary schools and many not-for-profit organizations.

Volume up: iconic sounds of sdsu.

Every place has its own blend of unmistakable sounds, and SDSU is no different. We’ve selected five that are bound to bring you back to campus.

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter
• Share on LinkedIn
• Share via Email

Sounds have the power to evoke long-forgotten memories and feelings of nostalgia in an instant. Amidst the vibrant campus community at SDSU, an array of sounds narrate their own story and help to define the SDSU experience. What sounds come to mind when you think of your time as a student and/or staff or faculty member? Join us as we take you back to campus with five iconic sounds that capture the spirit of SDSU. Tip: play the video first and then read the caption.

This sound either put you back on your skateboard on Campanile Walkway or gave you the distinct feeling to check your back and move — quickly. But this area in front of Hepner Hall wasn't always skateboard friendly. When San Diego State College moved to its current location in 1931, the property dropped off into a canyon. When the state extended Interstate 8 past SDSU in the early 1960s, the university used excess dirt from the project to fill in the canyon — and create space for buildings and walkways. Video by Nindiya Maheswari

The iconic “I Believe” chant was created in 1999 by U.S. Naval Academy cheerleader Corey Strong, who earned his MBA from SDSU in 2010. Coincidentally, SDSU’s student section, The Show, adopted the chant during the 2010–2011 men's basketball season, but Strong says he wasn’t responsible for bringing the chant to the university.

For more than 40 years, student assistants in the Ambassador Program, like senior Mars here behind Hepner Hall, have been leading campus tours with voices amplified and SDSU facts at the ready. Video by Nindiya Maheswari

The trolley stop at SDSU, which is part of the Green Line from Santee Town Center Station to 12th & Imperial, opened in July 2005. People 18 and under can ride for free with the youth Pronto app or card. Video by Nindiya Maheswari

Terry O’Donnell, SDSU professor emeritus of Music and Theatre, has maintained the chimes in Hardy Tower for more than 60 years. The chimes were donated by Ed and Mary Fletcher to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the college in 1946. Since that year, the system has grown from 24 amplified chimes to 204 carillon bells.

Saint Katherine athletes shocked by university’s sudden closure: ‘We were blindsided, basically’

The women’s beach volleyball team was at the NAIA national tournament in Tennessee, in the middle of a match, when the announcement was made

The University of Saint Katherine Firebirds were playing the Park University (Mo.) Pirates in the NAIA women’s beach volleyball national tournament Thursday night in Greeneville, Tenn., in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.

Mike Miller, USK’s sports information director, was posting some videos of the action to social media when he noticed an incoming text from his athletic director.

Miller found head coach Lauren DeTurk immediately after the match, a 4-1 loss, and whispered something to her. DeTurk rushed to her players before they could turn on their phones and see the email blast from the university president.

“She wanted us to hear it from her first,” sophomore Anne Mayfield said.

Citing deep financial losses and plans to file for bankruptcy, the 14-year-old private university in San Marcos was ceasing operations. Like, immediately.

The final few weeks of classes, canceled. Mayfield was halfway through her final paper for a macroeconomics class, about the positive economic growth following the pandemic shutdowns.

The irony isn’t lost on her: Apparently, that doesn’t apply to Saint Katherine.

“We were just blindsided, basically,” Mayfield said. “It was definitely a really emotional conversation. Everyone was crying. She was apologizing over and over, even though obviously she had no role in it. She was just apologizing, knowing what this would lead to and what we would have to go through after this.”

Mayfield’s parents had made the trip to Tennessee. She’s generally not an emotional person, so they knew something had happened when she collapsed in their arms, tears streaming down her face.

“Word traveled pretty quickly,” Miller said of the scene at the eight-school tournament. “Everybody sees these girls bawling. Normally people are upset when they lose, but not like that.”

Saint Katherine isn’t the first U.S. university shuttered in recent years for financial reasons — President Frank Papatheofanis referenced “a steep shortfall in operating cash” in his Thursday email sent at 4 p.m. PDT — but the timing and sheer abruptness caught students, faculty and coaches by surprise. Just two weeks ago, they announced plans to add men’s and women’s golf programs.

It hit athletes particularly hard because, well, almost every student at Saint Katherine is one. It operated on a similar model to many small schools that attract students (and tuition dollars) through the opportunity to play sports, just to an extreme. Of the roughly 275 undergrads this year, all but eight are members of Firebirds sports teams.

Men’s basketball coach Kevin Williamson was on the phone Thursday afternoon with a recruit from Houston, booking him a flight for a campus visit, when he heard a ruckus from the locker room as his players were preparing for open gym.

“I walk in the locker room and put the kid on mute,” Williamson said. “I’m like, ‘Guys, what is going on?’ I thought it was maybe a fight. They were like, ‘Coach, look at your email.’”

He read it, unmuted the recruit and told him he’d call him back.

He spent the afternoon consoling his players, telling them to “cherish everything you have because it can literally be gone in the next moment.” He spent the evening downloading their transcripts and other academic records for fear the university computer system would be shut down the following day, as his school American Express card was. He cleaned out his office until 1 a.m. He went to bed at 1:30, woke up at 5 and called the recruit.

The conversation: “I just said, ‘Hey, I got news while I was on the phone with you. The school shut down. This is not going to be an option after all.’”

Saint Katherine offered five men’s and six women’s sports that had experienced increasing success at the NAIA level. The women’s indoor volleyball team went 30-5, had a 25-game win streak, was conference champion, finished No. 17 in the NAIA rankings, qualified for the national tournament for the first time and won a first-round game. Women’s tennis reached the second round in 2022. Women’s soccer went 11-5-3 and just missed the national tournament last fall. Men’s volleyball had its first winning season in program history.

The flagship program, though, was men’s basketball, which immeasurably lifted the school’s profile from four games against San Diego State at Viejas Arena since 2013, including one last December just eight months after the Aztecs played for the NCAA Division I national championship. In a 2021 preseason exhibition, the Firebirds lost by a respectable 21 points (after being drilled 118-35 in 2013 ).

“They did not have to,” Williamson said. “It honestly does not help them. It was very kind and generous of them to continue to come to us. But (coach Brian Dutcher) does a great job of trying to take care of the local schools first. They’ve always done that.

“It means everything to a small program and a player in it. I know our guys still talk about the games at San Diego State. On our group texts, they still talk about this guy hit this shot or this guy did this thing. They’ll send videos of it. Those kind of games meant everything, not just to the student-athletes but the school in terms of notoriety and getting your name out there.”

Williamson used it as a recruiting pitch and quickly built a competitive NAIA program after it was shuttered twice in the five years before he arrived. In his five seasons, the Firebirds were 83-42, won two conference titles and qualified for the NAIA tournament three times. His teams had a cumulative grade-point average of 3.38 and graduated 26 of the 27 players who finished their college careers there, plus an expected five more this season.

Captain David Odinigwe, a 6-foot-9 senior forward from Victorville, was recently named valedictorian for the Class of 2024.

Williamson had 14 players eligible to return from a team that won a school-record 23 games and reached the NAIA tournament. In an era of unprecedented transiency in college basketball, none wanted to transfer.

“They loved it,” Williamson said. “They loved our system, they loved the school, they loved living here. We were going to be really good.”

Now he’s scrambling to find them new teams while interviewing for jobs himself. Ideally, he’d like to take four of five of them with him.

Back in the northeast corner of Tennessee, the women’s beach volleyball team was coming to terms with playing for a university that no longer exists.

They showed up Friday in Firebirds uniforms but not wearing their warmup jackets. Parents weren’t wearing Firebirds gear, either.

When they broke the huddle, instead of chanting “USK,” they chanted “Beach” or “Family.”

“It felt like the ground had been pulled out from underneath us,” said Mayfield, who transferred last summer from Mt. San Antonio College and has two years of eligibility left. “We had grown so close as a team throughout the season. It’s such an amazing group of girls.

“It was like, OK, we’re playing for each other now. This is the family we created. We’re representing this family, and we’re not representing our school anymore because they didn’t look out for us. Now we’re doing this for each other.”

They lost 3-1 to Arizona Christian in the quarterfinals Friday, the final sports team still playing, and the dying embers of a university were extinguished.

Flights and hotel rooms were prepaid, but the team wasn’t scheduled to return until Sunday and they had to eat. Miller said the athletic department arranged to keep their school credit cards open through the weekend.

Mayfield spent Saturday at the hotel in a daze while some of her teammates watched the semifinals and final. No point in grinding on that econ paper. Whatever grades you had before Friday are logged as your final grades. Seniors, the hope is, will receive degrees, although details of any formal commencement exercises remain unclear.

“Especially since we’re still here in Tennessee, the reality hasn’t really set in,” Mayfield said by phone. “There’s nothing to go back to now, which is going to be the weirdest thing when we get back home. I think the student body is feeling really betrayed right now and really saddened. You get so close. With everyone being athletes, going through all that you do, you’re really close. And now it’s all gone.

“I think most people are still in a state of shock, but as time goes on I do feel myself getting angrier.”

Mayfield was asked if she’ll keep her Firebirds gear.

“Even though the year is ending on this note, I still have many amazing memories and moments from being at Saint Katherine,” she said, pausing to collect her thoughts. “Just the community, the people I went to class with, the professors I had. Because none of this was their fault.

“It made such an impact on my life, and many of my teammates, we’ll be friends forever. Even going through this has brought us closer together. I don’t think I’ll get rid of (the gear). But it’s definitely going to sting to look at for a while.”

FY 2024 Community Project Funding Submissions

For Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, the House Committee on Appropriations announced that it would Community Project Funding (CPF) requests – commonly referred to as earmarks – from Members of Congress, in addition to the standard programmatic and language-based requests that are considered each year for House Appropriations bills. Community Project Funding requests allow Members of Congress to request and designate funding for projects that benefit their own communities and/or districts, as long as the projects adhere to federal regulations and House and Committee eligibility requirements. Each Member was limited to no more than 15 Community Project Funding requests across all eligible Appropriations subcommittees for FY2024 and – as has been the case in previous years – there is no guarantee that any requested projects will be funded. The FY2024 CPF process has a limited scope with combined Community Projects capped at 0.5% of all discretionary spending.

Congresswoman Jacobs submitted the following fifteen (15) FY24 Community Project Funding requests for consideration by the House Committee on Appropriations. The requests are listed by the subcommittee to which they were submitted and are otherwise listed in alphabetical order. Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies San Diego State University Transmission Electron Microscope  - Recipient:  San Diego State University  - Address:  5500 Campanile Drive, San Diego, CA 92128  - Amount Requested:  $1,994,647  - Project Description:  SDSU is requesting funding for a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to develop the fundamental basis and methods for testing cellular structures. This microscope would allow scientists to observe details as small as individual atoms, giving unprecedented levels of structural information at the highest possible resolution. This has become the predominant tool for structural biology allowing atomic level determination of structure in a native frozen state for membrane protein, large protein complexes, and viruses. SDSU is the only California State University institution in Southern California that offers a TEM inquiry-based course. These courses prepare students to fulfill the region’s critical need for skilled laboratory scientists. The microscope will serve as a training and research tool, filling a void in the pipeline for high paying local electron microscope positions in the private and academic sectors. -  Signed financial disclosure and federal nexus letter UCSD Wildlife Technology Commons  - Recipient:  University of California, San Diego    - Address:  9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093  - Amount Requested:  $4,700,000  -  Project Description:  UCSD is requesting funding to bring resources together into a technology commons that can be accessed and used by wildfire technology researchers and innovators, using data and AI as tools for next-generation fire models. Today, even the most sophisticated approaches are reactive and cannot control fire under extreme weather conditions. The CBO estimates that from 2016-2020, fire suppression activities on federal land averaged $2.5 billion annually. The federal government obligated an additional $5 billion annually in that same period for disaster assistance to state and local governments related to wildfire damage. In 2020, the worst fire season yet, fires swept across 10 million acres in California, Oregon, and Washington, killing dozens, destroying 10,000 structures, and causing $16 billion in property damage. Tens of thousands of firefighters risked their lives to fight the fires at a cost of $3.4 billion. Avoiding future wildfire disasters is a time-critical problem that requires practical solutions that build upon science and technology advances to understand fire behavior in our changing climate.  -  Signed financial disclosure and federal nexus letter Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies East County Center for Military and Veteran Reintegration  - Recipient:  County of San Diego   -  Address:  1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA 92101  -  Amount Requested:  $1,000,000   -  Project Description:  This proposal seeks to bring a Center for Military and Veteran Reintegration (CMVR) to East County San Diego adjacent to Sharp Grossmont Hospital. East County is home to the largest number of military veterans in our region, with 57,455 veterans spread throughout incorporated cities and rural communities. However, the Second Supervisorial District is the only district without a County-operated Center for Military and Veteran Reintegration. Research shows that individuals exiting the military can experience difficulty and confusion when attempting to identify and navigate the resources they need or desire. This new CMVR would help local veterans smoothly transition from service, serving as one-stop shop and hub for service members, veterans, and their spouses.  -  Signed financial disclosure and federal nexus letter Grantville Safe Parking Program Site  - Recipient:  County of San Diego    - Address:  1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA 92101    -  Amount Requested:  $1,140,223   - Project Description:  The County of San Diego is requesting funding to build and maintain an overnight Safe Parking site for unhoused individuals living in their vehicles at a County-owned site in the Grantville neighborhood of the City of San Diego.

unwto tourism highlights 2022

Un tourism | bringing the world closer.

Unwto 2021: a year in review, 2021: tourism united, resilient and determined.

2021 has been a year of learning and adapting for tourism. It has proven that only by working together can the sector overcome challenges and embrace opportunities.

Gathering the global tourism community and developing concrete actions, UNWTO has led tourism’s response with the vision of not only restarting, but doing so in a more inclusive, innovative and sustainable way.

January - March

As global tourism faced up to a second year of unprecedented crisis , UNWTO began 2021 by counting the cost so far . At the same time, however, the emergence of vaccines brought hope . The Global Tourism Crisis Committee met to explore what this meant for safe travel and the restart of tourism, while the announcement of the winners of the UNWTO Global Start-up Competition recognized the role culture and creativity will play in tourism’s restart and recovery .  

April - June

Collaboration and innovation were the focusat the start of the second quarter. UNWTO partnered with IATA on a new Destination Tracker to give both tourists and destinations clear, impartial and trusted advice. And a new Start-up Competition was launched to find the best ideas for accelerating rural development through tourism. In May, the launch of the Best Tourism Villages by UNWTO generated significant interest from Members in every global region. 

July - September

As destinations in Europe welcomed tourists back for the peak summer season, UNWTO highlighted the role of  digital solutions for the safe restart of the sector. But UNWTO also looked ahead, to a more sustainable future , working with key partners to  reduce plastic waste and consumption across every part of the sector. Together, we celebrated World Tourism Day around the theme of Tourism for Inclusive Growth, a message of solidarity and determination that was echoed on a global scale.

October - December

The final quarter of 2021 began with cautious optimism as UNWTO’s Barometer showed signs of improvement in tourist arrival numbers during the summer season in the northern hemisphere. A new partnership with Netflix will bring the message of tourism as a driver of opportunity to a massive global audience, while in November, UNWTO was tourism’s voice at COP26 and signatories to the landmark Glasgow Declaration keep growing. Finally, against the backdrop of the UNWTO General Assembly , the programme of work for the coming biennium was approved and 77% of Members voted to secure a second mandate for the Secretary-General from 2022-2025.

Growing and Moving Forward

UNWTO brings together political leaders from across the globe to deliver a strong, coordinated response. Governments, destinations, fellow UN agencies and international organizations met at key international events joining efforts to rethink tourism. Institutional coordination has proven crucial to find the solutions that build a smarter, greener and safer tourism.

Leaving Nobody Behind

The pledge to ‘ leave nobody behind ’ means nobody should miss out : Not now as we support the sector in the face of crisis, and not in the future as tourism starts again. Tourism is a proven driver of equality and opportunity. And that’s why we turn words into actions, delivering guidelines and action plans , to ensure everyone can enjoy the opportunities tourism brings.

A Shared Vision

Advancing the transformation of the tourism sector , partnerships are the only way forward. In 2021, UNWTO signed agreements with international organizations and the private sector to step our vision for the future of tourism: innovation , education , sustainability , green investment , rural development.

World Tourism Barometer: September 2022

UNWTO updates World Tourism Barometer and reports international tourism back to 60% of pre-pandemic levels from January to July 2022

Below are excerpts from the September 2022 release of the UNWTO Tourism Barometer :

• The steady recovery reflects strong pent-up demand for international travel, especially in the months of June and July which are part of the Northern Hemisphere summer season. The easing or lifting of travel restrictions in an increasing number of countries also contributed to boost results.
• International tourist arrivals almost tripled (+172%) in January-July 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Numbers climbed from -64% in January 2022 (versus 2019) to -28% in July, the strongest month since the start of the pandemic.
• Asia and the Pacific (+165%) saw arrivals more than double in the first seven months of 2022, though they remained 86% below 2019 levels.
• The ongoing recovery can also be seen in outbound tourism spending from major source markets. Expenditure from France was at -12% in January-July 2022 compared to 2019 while spending from Germany stood at -14%. International tourism spending remained at -10% in Belgium, -23% in Italy and -26% in the United States.
• The uncertain economic environment seems to have reversed prospects for a return to pre-pandemic levels in the near term. 61% of UNWTO Panel of Experts now see a potential return of international arrivals to 2019 levels in 2024 or later while those indicating a return to pre-pandemic levels in 2023 has diminished (27%) compared to the May survey (48%).

TOURISM TRENDS 2022

11 Aug TOURISM TRENDS 2022

The situation for tourism remains rather unusual as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The crisis has marked a significant change for everyone, and above all for tourism, one of sectors hit hardest by the virus. 2020 was the year in which international tourism came to a near-complete standstill, and the only alternatives were domestic and local tourism.

2021 has seen some improvements, but only in a very subtle way as restrictions are still in place and many countries keep their borders fully or partially closed.

It is difficult to make an estimate for 2022 as it is not known how the pandemic will evolve. However, it is possible to talk about the new tourism trends that are likely to emerge over the coming year: – International travel with restrictions still maintained by both destinations and airlines in order to offer 100% security to the consumer.

– Reinforcement of COVID-19 testing; two years after the pandemic, COVID testing will still be in place as a preventive measure. – Conscious travel will be advocated. Travel to more distant destinations, but with prolonged durations of stay, as consumers look to enjoy as much of each place they visit as possible. – Green travel. Climate change is a problem that is present and growing. Consumers now are much more responsible and aware of the reality they live in on daily basis.

– A new trend is the “ed-ventures”. It is about combining education and holidays for the youngest members of the family. While adults may need to telework or attend meetings, their children can be doing workshops and learning in a playful way.
