The International Student Associ
ation’s 39th annual International
Week and Night, “Patches: Thread
ing Our Cultures,” which begins to
day, offers the University community
five days and one evening of events
highlighting cultural diversity.
“Each one of us represents a
patch all coming together,” Publici
ty Coordinator Jennifer Huang said.
“It represents all students from cam
pus gathering to celebrate differ
ences,” she said.
Although International Week
aims at uniting students from
around the world in a common set
ting, it is also a place to recognize
what sets students apart.
“It’s a celebration of differences,”
International Week and Internation
al Night Committee Director David
Reyes said.
ISA members have been fundrais
ing since last year to make the events
come alive by contacting on- and off
campus groups for donations.
Countless hours of labor — with
students sometimes meeting until
the wee hours of the morning—and
more than 400 volunteers helped
the week come together.
Unlike programs from years past,
the 2002 roster includes a presenta
tion from all-American crooners On
the Rocks, a student a cappella choir,
and more involvement from Native
American students, Huang said.
“We’re getting a good mix from
people all over the world this year,”
International Student Association
Co-Director Shruti Shah said.
International Week kicks off with
a parade from 10:30 to 11 a.m. to
