The Office of International Education at Indiana University of Pennsylvania will hold its annual International Unity Day on October 25 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. in IUP’s Hadley Union Building. This event is free and open to the community.
This fall, IUP hosts more than 375 international students and scholars from 65 countries.
Unity Day, which has been held for more than 20 years at IUP, provides an opportunity to explore some of the world’s diversity through international cuisine, poster displays, and entertainment.
This year’s Unity Day celebration includes 33 country booths and nine different entertainment acts. Each booth is organized by IUP international students, scholars, faculty, and staff showcasing their home countries, and IUP’s 17 Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Program for International Teachers visiting educators also will have a booth at the event.
Food samples will be available at the booths from 6:00 until 7:30 p.m., and a Children’s Room, featuring crafts, face painting, and a photo booth, will be open during that time.
Student and regional performances, including dance and musical selections, will take place from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. in the Ohio Room of the HUB.
International Unity Day is sponsored by the IUP Office of International Education and the IUP Student Cooperative Association.
