The International Students Association will present its annual Extravaganza to educate the campus community about international cultures and promote interest in them April 11-16.
This year’s theme is “The World Within US,” a play on the initials “U.S.” and the word “us.” Each day will highlight a region of the world with a cultural exhibit in the Farinon Center lobby and a daily brown bag discussion, and several days will include an evening movie screening.
The celebration includes a Friday barbecue and concludes Saturday with an international food festival followed by the Grand Finale, which will feature the talents of students in ethnic dances, plays, songs, and fashion shows. All events are free of charge.
