International Festival Features Traditional Food, Performances and Artistic Presentations

Returning for its second year, the Center for International Services is hosting the InternationalFestival on Sunday, April 24, at 4 pm in Goldstein Auditorium, campus inviting community members to experience various cultures and celebrate our global community. Included in the event are eight Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) that will table, host artistic presentations and serve food from their country, region or culture.

“The event is a great opportunity to be exposed to a wide range of cultural experiences, sample food from around the world and meet and appreciate the many talents of our students,” says Director of the Center for International Services Juan Tavares.

The RSOs tabling at the event includes African Graduate Students’ Network, Caribbean Student Association, Chinese Union, European Students Association, Filipino Student Association, La Société Francophone, Latin American Student Association and South Asian Student Association.
