In celebration of the variety of cultures represented on campus the second annual International Week celebration will be held Nov. 4-7.
Sponsored by the Global Health Student & Faculty Advisory Committee, International Week will provide opportunities for the UNMC community to meet and mingle with people from around the world.
The week kicks off with an online “Quest,” challenging participants to meet someone new and find out a little about where they are from. More information on the “Quest” will be published in UNMC Today at the beginning of International Week.
Other activities include an ethnic tea, flag football and ping pong/badminton tournaments, as well as the popular photo contest.
To enter the photo contest, complete the online submission form.
The deadline to submit photos is Oct. 20.
