International Fair

Once every year, there has been an “International Fair” at most of the Universities in the USA. It was no exception at ETSU. Usually there is a dinner followed by a program. The dinner has a minimal charge, giving you a chance to taste foreign students cooking. Clearly it is good sometimes and also bad sometimes. However, it is generally authentic. The program also varies quite a bit from one year to another. When we were students at the University of Illinois, we participated every time. When I started to teach at ETSU, we joined the folk dance group to perform some dances in the program during the first few years. For one reason or the other, we gradually backed out of that part, and only went there to watch our students’ performance.
