Moira Delgado was the first International Programs and Outreach Coordinator at SISS and her philosophy about campus involvement inspired numerous students, faculty, and staff. She created and managed multiple programs that are still implemented today for both international students and scholars to help them integrate into the campus community. Moira also created the Global Ambassador Mentorship Program, which serves incoming first year and first year transfer international students in their adjustment to UC Davis. Having studied and lived in multiple countries and as a fluent speaker in three languages, Moira has directly experienced the challenges of communication and culture. Previously, she has taught ESL as well as intercultural communication. Moira is currently the Director of Student Life and Community Service at Northstate University, College of Health and Sciences in Sacramento.

In honor of the great strides Moira made for ensuring campus involvement for international students and scholars, this award has been created to recognize a student who has taken initiative to create an environment or implement programs that bridge cultural gaps or connect international students with domestic students. This student displays kindness, compassion, and determination in their efforts to promote a culturally competent campus.

Recipients of the Moira Delgado Campus Involvement Award will be notified by email and will be formally recognized at the International Student Graduation Reception on May 19th.
