A social hour begins at 6 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres, a sale of cultural artifacts and silent auction. Proceeds will benefit the Foreign Student Program. Dinner will follow in the Laird Room, with a menu to include dishes from around the world. Students will also entertain guests with dancing, music, fashion and talents that showcase a variety of cultures.
All seats are reserved for $15 per person (limit 8 tickets per purchase) and are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets go on sale beginning on Monday, February 18.
