International & Globally Themed Food for IEW

Food and the diversity of regional cuisines—and often their fusions—add a depth and richness to the global experience. For International Education Week, let's celebrate some of the global food diversity available on campus from meaningful recipes submitted by international students and world travelers to a sampling of dips from around the globe to the global and fusion flavors frequently present on campus every week sold via food trucks.

Remember: Variety is the spice of life.
