Low Waste MultiCultural Food Fest

The diversity of the aspect of international education is best understood by celebrating exotic dishes from around the world. However, it is of greater importance when two great combinations of values are achieved through such an event. The International Food Night by ISA and the host university achieved sustainability goals.

The two sustainability goals that the international students collectively achieved were:

• Zero wastage of food.
• Eco-friendly serving system.

The event was also successful in creating a very important CSR value at the ground level. International students are the future of global enterprises. Thus, the multicultural diversity experience that was immersed through cultural cuisines was a great CSR value. Additionally, international students creating a CSR value for the University and ISA definitely made the students more responsible towards the global society.

The President of ISA, Chantal Portes, is a senior student at Creighton University. She herself presented her own cultural dish, Pastelón, from the Dominican Republic. She believes that the event served its purpose of making students feel at home and welcome. Again, trying dishes from other regions of the world makes students feel the essence of being a global citizen.

All the students enjoyed the event while networking aptly at the event over delicious food. 140 students turned up at the event which was far more than the expected number. Presenters served food in compostable dishes, spoons, napkins, and utensils. 

Lujain Abdullah, an external attendant at the event gladly shared her love for Lebanese and Dominican cuisines. She came to the event to network with the other students taking a cue from the fact that multicultural discussions are very positive in such events.

Thus, international events like these are very immersive and elaborate in nature. International students get a chance to see the world differently and become a part of the global community. Studying abroad becomes fun and exciting because of these events.
