The University of Southern Indiana (USI) is excited to host its annual International Food Expo on Friday, February 14, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Carter Hall, located in University Center West.

This event is a fantastic opportunity for USI’s international students to share the rich cultures and flavors of their home countries. Attendees can enjoy a variety of main dishes and desserts from around the globe. In addition to delicious food, the expo will feature lively performances, including dances, music, and a fashion show that showcases traditional attire.

It’s a day for everyone to enjoy and learn about different cultures through the lens of food.”

Tickets for the expo are available online for $15 for non-USI attendees and $10 for current USI students.
