The International Students and Scholars office hosted “International Night,” on March 16.

This annual event sums up all other events that go on throughout the year.

“We all get caught up in this busy society,” Petra Knoche, assistant director of international students and scholars office, said.  “We are exposing another side of the world to the students and staff — showing them the bigger picture.”

Each culture featured a display which showed specific points of their location and traditions.

The displays were equipped with food to match the culture.

In three hours, attendees were able to explore a number of different cultures, while enjoying music courtesy of WXOU and performances that showcased talents.

Aaron Segel, a senior majoring in cinema studies, said the Googin-Carrol School of Irish Dance did a good job at representing the culture.

International Night is filled with ways for people to see these things for themselves and get a literal taste of what things are like in other areas of the world.
