Approximately 60 students from 14 different countries participated in the annual Spring Break Speakers' Fair March 15-19. Organized by the Office of International Programs, the program encourages NDSU international students to share their country’s language, history, music and traditions with local and rural North Dakota elementary, middle and high school students.
Many students wore their traditional clothing and brought arts and crafts from their country to discuss and share. Participants in the Speakers' Fair visited Kindred Elementary School, Mapleton Elementary School, Richland High School in Colfax, Valley City High School and Cheney Middle School in West Fargo.
NDSU international students have participated in the Speakers’ Fair more than 20 years.
The Office of International Programs, a division of Equity, Diversity, and Global Outreach, organizes a number of campus and community outreach events throughout the year.
