LU hosts International Cultural Festival

Lamar University students, faculty and staff will celebrate a world of diversity in the LU International Cultural Festival: A Global Experience, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16, 2014, in the Montagne Center.

Participants can enjoy foods from around the world and observe performances by members of LU’s extensive international community. Students from more than 60 countries will transform the Montagne Center into a culturally diverse landscape representing a global array of sights and sounds.  Cultural performances by students from Bangladesh, China, Ghana, India, Iran, Liberia, Nepal and Vietnam will be featured.

The event is hosted by the Office of International Student Services and the International Student Council in collaboration with the Office of Diversity & Inclusion and Lamar University’s Small Business Development Center.

Lamar University is committed to fostering an inclusive environment that welcomes and celebrates expressions of diversity and identity as we prepare students to thrive in a culturally diverse and global society.

The International Cultural Festival is part of International Education Week, Nov. 16-20, that will include a number of special events and activities. For more information, visit http://lamar.orgsync.com/org/multicultural/international.
