The Center for International Services in partnership with the Student Association invites the campus community to attend the annual International Festival on Sunday, April 14, 2-6 p.m., Goldstein Auditorium, Schine Student Center.
Now in its fourth year, this celebratory campus tradition has grown into a large-scale showcase further honoring cultural traditions and talents across the student experience.
Highlights include the opportunity to experience a variety of traditional food samples, performances, activities and decorative booths hosted by participating registered student organizations (RSOs).
Admission to the event is free and includes the schedule of performances and tabling exhibitions. The event will also feature a full menu of food samplings from the countries, regions and cultures of the participating RSOs. Attendees with current student identification will receive a punch card to enjoy the food samples free of charge. All additional food samples are $1 and only cash will be accepted.
“Each year the students put a lot of work into preparing for the festival and we are excited to help them host another wonderful event,” says Juan Tavares, director of the Center for International Services. “We invite all members of the campus community to join in connecting with RSOs, build intercultural understanding, learn more about the cultural traditions of the RSOs and their students participating, and join the overarching celebration of our richly diverse student body.”
Participating 2024 RSOs include the following.
