 International Festival
Celebrates Diversity
 More than a thousand people
immersed themselves in the tastes, sights and
sounds of the world as the campus celebrated its
24th International Festival on Saturday, April
15. "We were sold out, more than sold
out," exclaimed  Edina Oestreicher, Director
of Student Activities and co-coordinator of the
event, who with Dawn Valenti, Director for
International Affairs did an excellent job of
overseeing the 26 food booths and 14
performances.
But the highest accolades must go to the many
students who worked tirelessly amidst their
studies and jobs in order to bring such a quality
event to our campus - and the UB community thanks
you!
"It was truly an amazing event," said
President Salonen, who munched his way from booth
to booth, talking with students and enjoying the
swirl of cultures. "I'll do everything in my
power to make next year's Festival even
better," he said.
The first-place winners of the performance
competition went to two groups - the Japanese
students for their dramatic and artistically
exquisite Kabuki play, and the Indian students
for their magical folk-dance. Third place went to
the Nepalese students.
