Still working on getting some photos in from International Night. In the mean time, enjoy what our intern Sean captured during the final couple days of International Week!
ISA has been extremely busy preparing for International Week (which is now over) and International Night. We’re very excited for tonight and we hope that you’ll come join us for our grand finale.
If you want to be personally involved in I-Night, stop by the kitchen between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. We’re giving all kitchen volunteers complimentary I-Week and Night t-shirts.
We’re sorry about the lack of updates, but we promise to have photos and a review of the event within a day of I-Night ending.
Hope to see you there.
So much happened today! We had a band play while serving Nutella and bread (along with some other delectables… like durian). Once again, we had to move out because of a series of wind gusts that kept blowing our tents away. Once again, we’re sorry we had to cancel early, but we were able to move inside the Fir room for lessons in Spanish, German, and Swahili.
Our intern Sean was around to capture all the madness.
To everyone who came out for IWN today, we had to cancel our events for the day. The ASUO had reserved the amphitheater for Earth Day and we weren’t able to hold events in the amphitheater in conjunction with Earth Day. We thought about moving everything to the fir room, but we didn’t know how to get the word out to everyone on campus that we moved. To those of you who were looking forward to International Food Factor and Indonesian Language lessons, we’re terribly sorry we were unable to do those today.
Having said that, we are planning on holding some of Tuesday’s events in conjunction with Wednesday’s events. You can expect the return of International Food Factor and more at the EMU. We’re hoping the weather will clear up so that you can enjoy I-Week to the fullest extent possible.
Stop by tomorrow. We’ll be waiting for you.
ISA made the front page of the Daily Emerald. Check it out here.
It’s finally arrived!
International Week and Night started today at 11:45 with a parade through the University of Oregon. Today’s events included a performance from the Eugene Gakkouen school, a sushi making contest, and a performance by a live band. Our intern Sean was at the event with his camera.
Check out our promo video for I-Week and Night 2008!
We were fortunate because the weather outside happened to be perfect. Hopefully, we’ll have more of that for IWN.
Just a reminder that International Week starts tomorrow. Be sure to stop by the amphitheater and say hi. If you have any free time and would like to volunteer, we would love your help. Remember, 5 hours gets you an International Week and Night T-Shirt.
Hope to see you there!
Excellent turnout today for the volunteer party! We had many non-ISA members turn out this afternoon for the volunteer party. We were worried about not having enough decorations for I-Week and night, but people really came through for us and we’re in good shape!
We’re hoping to have the same turnout for tomorrow (if we do, we’ll be in good shape). We’ll start in the same place (ISA Office) from 10:00 a.m. and finish at 6:00 p.m. hope to see you there.
For those of you looking for a way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon, the African Student Association has you covered! On May 4th, 2008, ASA will host African Night in the EMU Ballroom from 6 p.m. to 9p.m. This year’s theme is “The Great 56″ in tribute to the 56 countries that make up Africa. ASA will serve refreshments at the event. Best of all, African Night is FREE, even though you still must pick up a ticket at the UO Ticket office.
ISA has had a close working relationship with many of the members of ASA in the past and have always known them to be hard working individuals who are passionate about perpetuating awareness of African Culture at the University of Oregon. This year’s event is sure to entertain and educate all who go.
