Cultural Ambassadors are an integral part of our Conversation Classes. They help students to practice their English and the lessons they learn from their instructors. Some of our Cultural Ambassadors have been with us for many years, and have become not only part of the UC San Diego Extended Studies International Programs team, but also part of our international students' family.

So it is with sadness to announce that one of our dearest Cultural Ambassadors has passed.

Joanie Nelson has helped many of our international students feel a home away from home while cultivating their English. She has been an integral part of our community and we are so grateful to her many years of dedication to our department and to our students.
