International Night 2012: The Paradise in You
Since 1999, ISA has contributed to the efforts of uniting cultures and promoting understanding of cultural diversity on the UH campus. This year’s theme “The Paradise in You” represents the paradise in each of us. The meaning behind this theme is that people from different cultures can come together and create a united wonderland. Each culture is distinct and beautiful. The goal for International night 2012 “The Paradise in You” will be to bring out the paradise in us and to unite all that beauty into one.
The International Student Association (ISA) invites you to join in the celebration of cultures at International Night 2012, which takes place Friday, March 16th, 6:00 – 9:00 pm, in the Campus Center Ballroom at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Students, faculty, and community members come together to present cultures via stage performances and interactive cultural booths.
Cultures represented this year are Belgium, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Madagascar, Malaysia, Marianas Islands, Mexico, Nepal, New Zealand, Okinawa, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and Hawaii - U.S.A.
By visiting most of the cultural booths, you are entitled to enter a prize drawing to win prizes from the following companies: Kahala Hotel & Resort, Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort & Spa, Halekulani, Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel, The Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen, and University of Hawaii at Manoa Bookstore.
Special thanks go to the Ethnomusicology Association at UHM, School of Travel Industry Management, and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers. Mahalo to all sponsors for your generous donations!
This event is free and open to the public. However, donations for the Hawaii Food Bank will be collected at the door and will be much appreciated.
We hope to see you at International Night as we discover the paradise in all of us!
