End of the Year Party 2013

 

For the fifth year in a row, OIS held its annual End of the Year Party to celebrate the successful completion of another academic year, to thank their dedicated volunteers and to celebrate NC State’s wonderful international population.  This year’s party was held on the afternoon of Friday, April 19th at the Centennial Campus Oval.  Approximately 600 people came out to enjoy food from three caterers; Barry’s Cafe (American), Virgil’s Jamaica (Caribbean) and Kaplan Catering (South American).  Outdoor games (and free frisbees!) provided students, scholars and their families a chance to relax and spend time with friends.  The event also featured the 4th Annual OIS Invitational Donut Eating Competition where teams of two had to complete a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts  with the fastest team walking away as champions.  The 2013 winning team completed the challenge in 1 minute 37 seconds and hailed from Bangladesh.  A well deserved congratulations to Tahmid Latif and Adnan Choudhury!  Ms. Wuf also made a special appearance and posed for pictures with her international fans.

NC State is home to 3,600 internationals and their families representing over 130 countries.
