International Week, Night provide students unique cultural experiences
by Jill Kimball | Freelance reporter |
Evans said that she was most excited for Friday's food theme.
"We're having an event called Food Factor, which is a lot like the TV show Fear Factor," she said. "We're going to feed students foods from other countries that Americans think are gross, like cocoons and pig's blood. Whoever eats the most will win a $20 gift certificate to Sweet Life Patisserie, two tickets to International Night and a free T-shirt."
International Week volunteer Hollina Ung is also looking forward to the Food Factor challenge.
"It will be really fun seeing what kinds of food they have and who will eat it," she said.
Ironically enough, this year's International Night is to be held in the afternoon. Evans promised, however, that the change in time would not diminish the amount of fun to be had.
"This year we have a great speaker, a lunch with 15 different dishes from all around the world, and a performance showcase."
Muslim Student Association spokeswoman Noor Rajabzadeh is looking forward to International Night.
"MSA will have their own contribution to I-Night," Rajabzadeh said, "and I'm excited that others will get to experience our culture."
