Dear International Students & Scholars, As many of your know, our annual Worldfest event is fast approaching! This year it will be held in the fall on Sunday, November 11th, 2018 from 1-4pm in the Student Union Ballroom. This is ISSS' annual event that celebrates UConn's international diversity as participants share aspects of their cultural and national identity through performance, food and activities. Bringing together UConn students and the greater community, UConn Worldfest promotes global engagement and mutual learning across cultures.
