Week to highlight a variety of cultures
Each day of
International Week,
students can explore
a different continent
By Amalie Young
Higher Education Reporter
Students may globe-trot their
way around the world — in seven
days.
International Week, sponsored
by the International Student Asso
ciation, will give students a
chance to travel through Africa to
the Americas and across the Pacif
ic to Asia and Europe this week.
The event is the highlight of the
ISA’s activities. Musicians,
dancers, artists and special speak
ers have been invited from around
the world to join in the festivities.
The purpose of the celebration,
said Amita Malakar, co-director of
ISA, is to bring international stu
dents as well as Americans togeth
er to share their cultures and back
grounds.
“We want people to know that
the U of O is a small world,” she
said. “It’s a fantastic opportunity
to learn about other countries.”
"Even international students
don’t know about each other,"
said Soo Hyun Bak, co-director of
ISA. The University has a rich di
versity of students, and Interna
tional Week is a chance to bring
people of different cultures togeth
er, she said.
Each day of International Week
is devoted to exploring a continent
through dance and musical perfor
mances, skits and food sampling.
Most food is free, and perfor
mances will be made by volunteer
international students on campus.
Professional performers are paid
through hinds from the ISA bud
get.“We want to welcome every
one to take advantage of the oppor
tunity to see how diverse our
culture is and have more under
