The Cross-Cultural Center Alumni Roots Project
Each and every one of you has brought life and spirit to the Cross-Cultural Center. Just like roots, once you leave here you will not be seen but your stories and presence will live on to nourish the next generation.
You each hold together the "common ground" of the CCC in helping us build and reach toward the future. Please consider leaving your mark and knowledge for future UCSD students.
Thank you for your heart, passion and love.

UCSD International House Seeks Tutors
Would you like to work an hour a week helping international students polish their English language skills? Volunteering to be a tutor in the American English in Action Program is a great way to get involved at the UC San Diego International Center-a place full of life and the crisscrossing of cultures from around the world. Volunteer tutors come from varied backgrounds.
Prospective tutors attend a three-hour orientation session before being given an assignment. Tutors generally work with tutees about an hour per week at a mutually agreed upon location. The orientation gives some background regarding the UCSD International Center and the tutor program, as well as information on valuable resources for new tutors.

Carlos Fuentes - "Globalization: A New Deal for a New Age"
Free Public Lecture & Book Signing
Thurs., April 24 at 7pm
Mandeville Auditorium
Free and open to the public.
Carlos Fuentes is one of those rare writers who, by the sheer power of
literary art, has defined the cultural, emotional and hereditary identity of an entire continent. A novelist, essayist, scholar and diplomat, he is recognized worldwide as one of the greatest literary and political figures of the Spanish-speaking world. In his essays and nonfiction work (including The Buried Mirror, which was made into a TV series for the Discovery Channel), he seeks to
reclaim that identity and celebrate the rich contributions of Hispanic
culture.
Presented by The Center for the Humanities, Division of Arts and Humanities, and Revelle College, in conjunction with The Consulado de Mexico en San Diego. |
Social Justice Quote of the Week: |
|
"In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us." Nhat Hanh
