Applications for Quest awards are handled by the Student Resource Center, and interviews are conducted by a panel comprising faculty, staff, students and parents. The criteria for evaluation are academic excellence, student involvement, community service, and leadership qualities and development that reflect initiative, intercultural understanding and ethical conduct. Most San Diegans would agree that our beaches are at the top of the list when it comes to local attractions. Others may register for classes through the SDSU College of Extended Studies. The Aquatic Center offers instruction for individuals and groups in wake-boarding, waterskiing, surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, sailing, and rowing.
All equipment used is top quality and also available for private rental.
The Center is a great location for recreational and instructional events or parties. Indoor features include a lounge area with fireplace, classrooms, locker rooms with showers, and two conference rooms with an adjacent patio. The facility is surrounded by beaches, grassy areas with picnic tables and barbeques, lighted tennis and basketball courts, a playing field, a dock and boat launching ramp, ample free parking and a 4,000-acre water recreation area for various aquatic activities. Classes are offered year-round, but fill up faster with the onset of summer. Program enthusiasm is especially high this semester, with the addition of the New York Showcase.
