Culture week provides fun for all

by Emily Block
Staff Writer

Students will have the opportunity to get a taste of several cultural experiences during this week's Culture Week.

"Together We Stand" is this year's theme. International Club sponsors this event, which has taken place for a number of years. The club's executive committee worked hard to make this year's series memorable and rewarding for all those who participate.

Many activities have been planned in celebration of the week. Dr. Linda Wolf, director of international student programs, explained that the cultural showcase, dinner and festival happen virtually every year. New activities will take place as well.

"International Game Night" will be held in Buhr Lounge tonight. Wolf said this activity allows students to learn and understand games played by people from other cultures.

To enjoy the authentic food and programs, pre-sold tickets are available from the International Club executives or at the Information Desk for $3. There will be limited sales at the door for $4.

With Culture Week being an annual event, Wolf said, "We're already working on ideas for next year."
