The 41st International Festival; A Huge Success!

Thank you to all who participated in a night of multi-

culturalism! Special thanks to all who volunteered, per-

formed, set up exhibitions, and made this event as great

of a night as it was! We could not be more pleased with

the turnout and overall engagement of the attendees and

we accredit that to the passion each of you participants

has for immersing yourself in different cultures. We

hope to see as many of you as possible next year when

we do it all again, at the 42nd International Festival!

Spooky Halloween Party — Best Costumes

The jointly hosted Halloween Party was a huge success! Students took

part in the spooky festivities by dressing in costumes, painting & carving

pumpkins, having their fortunes read, and much more.

International Student, Rohan Jadav, partook in the cultural event and

won best costume with his very scary looking impression of The Nun!
