International Institute Multicultural Fair

Coming to Schoolcraft College campus in 2013 12th Annual Multicultural Fair Thursday, March 28, 2013 10 AM to 3 PM DiPonio Room at the VisTaTech Center

The Multicultural Fair is a celebration of the wide variety of cultures on the Schoolcraft College campus and in our community. In addition to promoting cultural sensitivity and increasing an awareness and appreciation of other cultures, the Fair extends education beyond classroom walls by exposing students, faculty and staff to a multi-ethnic experience where students take the lead in teaching others.

Held each year since 2001, the Fair features cultural displays from two dozen countries prepared by more than 100 Schoolcraft students, instructors and staff as well as their family and friends. At these tables, students actively share their culture with more than 3000 visitors. Continuous performances highlight dance and music from an array of cultures. Demonstrations of henna painting and a dozen languages are also included in the day's events.

Cross-cultural snacks from a variety of ethnic cuisines are provided free of charge by area restaurants and Schoolcraft's Food Services. Guests are issued a "passport" at the door which they can get "stamped" at each country table they visit.

This event, created for students and community by students and community, is free of charge and open to the public.

The Fair is funded by a generous Schoolcraft College Foundation Grant.
