Snacks, games, activities, workshops for each country. The countries we chose are usually under-represented communities on campus, such as Ghana, Brazil, Switzerland and Italy. CMU has a number students from these countries, however, they lack the resources to form their own organization. Hence, ISU invites them to showcase their countries and culture as well as other cultural organizations already existing on campus so that the rest of the campus community can benefit by attending this event. We usually have approximately 10 countries represented and allot them with $30 each. |

Lollipops for raffle. Instead of having a normal raffle using tickets, we created an interactive game where the tickets are lollipops that are strategically placed on a world map. Before the students can take a lollipop, they will need to answer what the city is where the lollipop is placed and a random fact about the country or culture. |
