Student Testimonials
"In its time as a virtual space, iCafe is one of the only Zoom events at UCSD I ACTUALLY want to attend. The iCafes are structured well and it is a seamless transition between segments. Debi does an amazing job hosting and I love the questions she brings up in the chat which allow us "the virtual traveler" to get to know the country a little better. Thank you iCafe for connecting me to people, languages, and culture from around the world."- Stef
"Attended my first iCafe event and even though it was virtual, it was fantastic! I learned so much and I can't wait to experience it in-person someday. The people and the event was welcoming to all and it reminded me just how beautifully diverse our world is. It's amazing how we're able to learn about different countries, cultures and faiths through our UCSD community. Thank you!" - Angela
"I love this iCafe program. The wide variety of information about each country from their culture, food, sports, fun activities, the sites and sounds of the city! The Travel Trivia Game is a great, engaging activity that is FUN and TEACHING. Bravo!" - Student Participant
