On April 25, ISO will hold its annual spring festival on the first floor of the University Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cISO is the closest thing we have on campus that is similar to traveling,\u201d Zodiah Wint, a junior majoring in exercise science from Tobyhanna, Pa., said. \u201cEach of us represents a country, and we provide insights to our culture and we tell you things you can\u2019t find online.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ISO brings Kwaku Adjei-Bohyen\u201914, a native of Ghana, back to campus as the keynote speaker. The festival will include dance performances, poetry, international jeopardy, a demonstration on African head wrapping, caricature drawings, and a wide variety of food.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to help enhance the importance of diversity and cultural acceptance,\u201d Cadia Woods, a senior majoring in French and economics from Tannersville, Pa., who is a native of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, said. \u201cIn today\u2019s world it is important to be open to new cultures, new ideas and new ways of thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This event is open to the public and it is free of charge. \u201cI support all that this festival represents; seeing it for yourself brings a healthy dose of reality, and exotic food is always a good reason to attend an event,\u201d Wint said.<\/p>\n<p>For more information contact Michael Laffey, coordinator for the office of international programs, at 570-422-3579 or <a href=\"mailto:mlaffey@esu.edu\">mlaffey@esu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ESU International Student Organization Holds Annual Spring Festival, April 25 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12120,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[143,22,42,58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","category-facebook","category-news-release","category-slider"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12114"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12114"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12114\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12139,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12114\/revisions\/12139"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12114"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12114"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
