Our goals for NAFSA 2025:
Known as “America’s Finest City,” San Diego delights visitors with its abundant nearly year-round sunshine, diverse communities, and sparkling beaches. As a city keenly focused on innovation and the future, San Diego celebrates its rich 250-plus-year history, especially through its stunning landmarks and cultural centers. San Diego is a food lover’s paradise and also features a diverse and vibrant arts and music scene. With its ideal Southern California location, San Diego is the perfect place to explore more of the region, as it is close to Mexico and the rest of the West Coast.
