Campus Highlight: The University of Idaho International Friendship Association

(Each Monday during the academic year, I feature a "Campus Highlight": a unique, interesting, and noteworthy student organization, program, or initiative that demonstrates the amazing things college students do each and every day across the country.)

This week's highlight is focusing on the International Friendship Association at the University of Idaho. Their upcoming program -- "Cruise the World" -- sounds fantastic. The annual program "gives campus and community members the opportunity to experience different cultures by trying on exotic clothing, writing in new scripts, playing games, learning traditional dances, and much more while visiting over 30 country booths." Additionally, live entertainment rotates every 30 minutes, with performances including "traditional folk dances from Ghana, Guatemala, Nepal, India and Mexico, as well as music from Japan, and Saudi Arabia." What a great way to give people a chance to expand their horizons in an active, interactive way.

Keep up the great work, IFA! Wish I could come to this event!
