Eastern will begin celebrating “International Week” Saturday with a pot luck dinner, followed by a international student fashion show.

“Each year, Eastern designates a week to highlight international education, its value and the diversity that it brings,” Sue Songer, international student advisor, said.

The “pot luck” consists of each student cooking a dinner from his or her native country on Saturday at the Newman Catholic Center. Eastern students and members of the community are invited to attend the dinner from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

In addition, a “12 Months Birthday Party” will be held on Sunday at the Christian Campus House at 6:30 p.m. Birthday cakes decorated according to the designated month will be on tables for domestic and international students who aren’t able to make it home for their birthdays, Songer said.

Songer said free pizza and prizes will be provided.
