For all International Students & Scholars – from every culture & background – a unique opportunity for creating cross-cultural friendships and building bridges that contribute to making the world a better place. Learn new vocabulary and practice English. Share cross-cultural foods, join in fun competitive team games. And, discuss lively topics and share your ideas as we learn more about each other, both personally & culturally. Because there’s no kitchen, bring food ready to serve (no soup or sodas). If there’s not enough time, come anyway without food.
