The last International Tea of the semester will commence at 2 p.m. Thursday in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

The theme of the tea is “Celebration of International Education,” and it is sponsored by the international studies program and the Faculty Senate, said Sue Songer, international student advisor.

At 2:30 p.m., refreshments will be served, and international students will perform cultural acts, including music and dancing.

Anuj Bhandari, a pre-business major from Nepal, will play the guitar and sing, Songer said.

Also performing is Priya Nair, an MBA graduate student from India. Nair will dance a traditional Indian dance.

Jaime Ortiz, a Spanish major from Mexico, and Rudina Xhaferri, a political science graduate student from Albania, will also dance together.

A distinguished alumnus from Taiwan will also be at Thursday’s tea. Huang Chenku, who attended Eastern from 1975 to 1976, will be in Charleston as the guest of retired professor Paul Overton.

Chenku is the president of the National Kaohsiung Normal University in Taiwan, and Songer said she is “very pleased” to have him back.

In addition to these events, Sandra Beauchamp-Karns, an English as a second language instructor who is leaving Eastern, will be honored.

Songer said the “Celebration of International Education” will be “very informal, and a lot of fun.”
