Learn culture with ‘One World’


International food, fashions, and culture will be featured during March and April as International One World Activities take place at UTM.

The activities, formerly celebrated as International Week, recognize the influence of different cultures in the region and on campus. Frank Leach, an instructor in International Pro-grams, wants the activities to attract participants from beyond the campus.

“These activities offer ways to bring different cultures together,” Leach said. “We encourage participation from around the region as we showcase the vibrant international component of our university.”
