Country Fair
The International Student Association and the Center for International Education invite the Loyola community to attend their annual Country Fair on Friday, October 17, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM in the Peace Quad. This free event showcases Loyola's diverse international community and gives students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to spend the afternoon "traveling" the world. Live Caribbean music by Casplash, educational displays, and cuisine from a variety of countries will be featured.
At the Fair, Loyola's international students as well as U.S. Americans, set up tables where they showcase a variety of items (flags, pictures, native clothing, artifacts, etc.) and food from their home countries or from countries where they have studied abroad. This is an extremely popular event; all the Loyola community loves it!
Featuring the following Countries:
Bangladesh, Belgium, Belize, Cuba, Egypt, England, Germany, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Phillipines, Russia, Southern US States, Trinidad and Tobago, and Vietnam.
Also visit the Study Abroad tables for Bahamas, Belgium, India and China!
