International Romantic Film Festival

On February 13th, 2013, OIS, UAB and CSLEPS partnered again to organize a fun intercultural event for NC State students, where they also had the opportunity to give back to the community.

OIS and UAB sponsored two FREE international romantic films at the Campus Cinema on a Wednesday before Valentine’s Day, a French movie, Amelie, starting at 7 pm and a Bollywood movie, Namastey London, which started at 9:30. Over 200 students attended this event preceded by a fun photo opportunity and an opportunity to donate food for the NC State Food Pantry, a food drive organized by CSLEPS. The drive was supported by Campus Cinema which donated one small bag of pop corn for every donations of two cans of non-perishable food.

On March 12th, 2013, OIS partnered with GTI (Global Training Initiative) to organize a mutual cultural event for SKEMA and degree-seeking international students at NC State. The event took place from 6 pm to 8 pm at Talley Student Center Ballroom where students were first offered some light refreshments. Led by the instructions of the energetic Mr. Bob, our students were then presented with an opportunity to learn the basics of American line dance. Times of fun and good dancing were crowned with a competition in best western wear costumes designed by our student participants.
