World Fare to show at IU

Union Board and the Office of International Services will partner once again to present IU World’s Fare Thursday, Nov. 7.

The fare will take place at 5 p.m. in Alumni Hall in the Indiana Memorial Union.

The event allows student members of the 20 cultural student groups at IU to showcase their countries with a night of international food and performances.

The event falls within IU’s International Education Week, a week dedicated to the education and exchange of different nations and cultures, according to the website of the Office of International Services.

International student groups will represent their cultures and countries at booths throughout Alumni Hall. The groups will also hold performances throughout the event.

Ethnic food will be served  with recipes submitted by the international student groups and prepared by IMU Dining Services.

Sandy Britton, associate director for international student life, said in a press release that the sense of unity this event brings year after year is what makes it so
special.

“Having this great event at IU Bloomington for the seventh year not only speaks to the value of global cultures, but to the commitment the international student groups have made to continue to bring awareness about their countries and the pride they feel sharing their cultures with the people who attend the event,” Britton said.
