Cultural Cafe

This event shines a spotlight on the different that countries WIU students come from.  Three times each semester, a student gives a presentation on or about their country over a weekday lunch hour. 

Authentic cuisine from the country being presented is served to all those in attendance, as well.  Cultural Cafes are a great opportunity for international students to share information on their home country’s culture and a great chance for the campus community to learn about different countries and cuisines of the world.

Cultural Cafe presenters are not limited strictly to international students, though.  Anyone with an expertise on a country or culture other than the US is welcome to present. If you would like to be a Cultural Café presenter, please contact CIS-Activities@wiu.edu

 

cultural cafeCulture cafes are more formal presentations in which a student (or group of students) prepares a talk and media presentation about his or herb country. The student will also provide recipes for Sodexho to cook a meal from that country, which is free to all attendees. These events typically have the highest attendance and provide a large audience with new information about different nations. There are generally two per semester.
