Global Fest is an annual opportunity that brings together students from around the world for intercultural exchange and connections. The March 26 featured hula dancing, student performances, local cuisine and more in the Edward J. Pryzbyla University Center.

Students educated others about their heritage with displays filled with favorite snacks, cultural artifacts, and photos of their country of origin. Ethiopia, India, and Ireland were among the many nations represented. 

The cultural celebration was made possible by the Center for Student Engagement, Residence Life, and the Office of International Services. The Department of Global Studies and PSI International Student Health Insurance were sponsors.
