UCO to show international spirit, heritage Oct. 23 - 27 By Nicki Cormier
Staff Writer The third week of October is a special month for international students at UCO. The week of Oct. 23 through Oct. 27 has been designated International Week, said Jalal Daneshfar, activities coordinator at the International Office. International Week gives foreign students a chance to represent their country and show their culture to others, Daneshfar said. "During this week, we encourage students to wear their
national dress and to make themselves available to speak to a class or group about their culture," Daneshfar said. "We also encourage professors to be conscious of the different communities here on our campus." Although there will be several events planned throughout the week, the highlight of the week will be on Friday, Oct. 27, which is set aside as a day of entertainment. On that day, tables will display art and crafts special to each participating country from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. in the University Center Ballroom.
"The evening entertainment will begin at 7 p.m. International students will represent their countries with a form of dance or song," Daneshfar said. Activities are free to UCO students and the community. "International students work hard to get ready for this day and we hope people will come and enjoy the attractions," Daneshfar said. The deadline for registration is Oct. 16 and application forms can be obtained from the International Office. For more information, call Daneshfar at 341-2980, Ext. 2377.
