Wendy Knipe Bredhold Media Relations Specialist, News & Information Services 812/461-5259 Through the Food Expo, USI's international students are given the opportunity to celebrate cultural diversity and share customs with the USI community and the public. This year students will prepare and serve food from more than 20 home countries and provide the entertainment. There will be singing, dancing, musical performances, and a traditional costume fashion show. On the menu are Columbian-style hot dogs, falafel and salad, Korean barbecue, chicken tostadas, fried rice with beef and cabbage, German potato salad, African doughnuts, Latin American rice pudding, Cambodian cookies, and much more. Outside of Carter Hall, Religious Life staff will sell fair trade handcrafts from Work of Human Hands, a program of Catholic Relief Services and SERVV International. All proceeds will benefit relief efforts in Haiti. Groups of students from area elementary and high schools will attend between 10:30 and 11 a.m., so plan accordingly. Advance tickets are $8 for students, $3 for children 5 and under, $5 for elementary school age children, and $10 for everyone else. All tickets sold at the door (except for children under 5, $3) will cost $12. Tickets are on sale now in the International Programs and Services office, located in the lower level of the University Center, but also will be sold from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday-Wednesday, February 15-17, at a table in the Eagle's Nest in the University Center. The Food Expo wraps up International Week, Monday-Friday, February 15-19. Other International Week events include a study abroad information session with study abroad alumni talking about their experiences at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 16 in University Center Room 205 and the Global Community's Lunar New Year Celebration at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 17 in the Ruston Hall Multipurpose Room. The "Where in the World is Archibald Eagle" Photo Trivia Contest will be held throughout the week in various locations. Photos and clues are placed on easels throughout campus and students guess the city and country pictured. Submissions are due in the International Programs and Services office (located in the lower level of the University Center) by 4:30 p.m. each day, and a new winner is chosen daily. Winners will be announced and prizes awarded at the Food Expo. For more information, contact Robin Banks, interim program coordinator in International Programs and Services, at 812/465-7183. |
