Like every Friday, yesterday I went to the weekly International Student Ambassadors Program meeting. We are currently working mostly on two upcoming events, which are a Food Fair and the Ambassadors signature event: the Beach Volleyball Tournament.
While last year I was leader of the Vball tourney committee, this semester I decided to switch it up. Originally, I asked the program director if I could get a position in the Marketing committee; however, she informed me she would have preferred I stay in the Event Planning committee, of which I am a co-leader. I decided to stay, and I am in charge of the Food Fair committee, together with my friend Felipe (whom I mentioned a couple of posts ago).
The International Food Fair and Language Exchange event, sponsored by SBCC International Student Ambassadors Program and the International Student Support Program, will take place at Antioch University between 3pm and 5pm on Friday, March 11th. The reason why we host this event at Antioch is mainly because SBCC has stricter regulations regarding “food-based” events; specifically, we would need to purchase the food from the SBCC Kitchen if we wanted to hold the event at SBCC. However, the International Food Fair and Language Exchange concentrates on typical foods that are not commonly offered by the cafeteria: in fact, international students from all over the world come together to share their culture and their country's characteristic food with everybody.
At the event, we will set up tables of different countries, such as Italy, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil, China, Japan, and many many others. So if you are a student reading this, you probably don't wanna miss out! No need to be said, the event is not restricted to students; everybody is welcome, and this is a free event.
During the event, we will have a raffle with $1 tickets (or a food can), Every single dollar (or piece of food) will benefit the hungry, and by participating you will get a chance to win a sweet prize!
In fact, the Food Fair is a wonderful opportunity to meet people and make friends around the world as well as try delicious food from various cultures at the same time! This is also a great opportunity to meet with Antioch's transfer advisors and get a tour of the campus, in case you are considering transferring to Antioch or are interested in learning more about the University.
Finally, you will be enjoying a wonderful view of Santa Barbara, as the event will be held at Antioch's beautiful patio, overlooking state street and the mountains, located on 2nd floor, 602 Anacapa street.
