CEHD International Students Community in a classroom
CISC Fall International Connection Day

Group: CEHD International Students Community

From the group:

The participants of this events are the international students (undergraduates, graduates, and faculty)in CEHD. CISC Fall International Connection Day is held on 9.22.2023, and we aim to create an inclusive and supportive environment within the CEHD that fosters meaningful connections and friendships among international students, so we hold this welcoming event to create a strong sense of community and belonging for new and current CEHD international students. We serve the food of different cultures, such as Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Mexican, which matches the goal of diversity and inclusive. During the event, we have some conversations about food culture, and we have the bingo game to help people get to know more about each other. At the end of the event, we get many positive feedback from our participants.
