Each year, the Winona State University International Services and Winona State University International Club host the International Dinner on campus. This year is the 29th annual dinner, celebrating a theme of: A Window Into World Cultures. Sarah Cheong, Public Relations Officer of the WSU International Club, says, “we are hoping that we can act as a bridge for the Winona community to experience and learn more about our world and the many beautiful cultures we have.”
The International Dinner consists of food from all over the globe, as well as performances from International and American students. This year’s dinner will take place on Saturday, April 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. in East Hall inside of Kryzsko Commons at WSU. The event is open to all members of the Winona community.
The event is to display performances and a variety of different foods from different cultures for other cultures to experience and enjoy.
The menu for the event consists of:
· Chicken Biryani, a fragrant dish from the Indian subcontinent
· Piyaz, a Turkish salad
· Onigiri, Japanese rice balls
· Empanada, a Latin American pastry
· Lokumi, a Bosnian dessert
· Chapman, a Nigerian beverage
· And much more!
Cheong describes the event as, “open to all and it’s an event where you see the community gather together to have a good time. From young to old we have something for everyone to take away from our event!”
Tickets to the event are being sold at the International Services Office in Kryzsko Commons Room 233 each day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., until the day of the event.
