This week, we are having a Global Series Extravaganza! We are excited to announce that we will be learning about the experiences of our international students from Japan and Indonesia.

Did you know that Indonesia has the largest population of Muslims in the entire world? Indonesia is a beautiful country that reflects “unity in diversity,” said Putu Pujiantari, a student presenter. She wants people to learn about the rich cultures of Indonesia and will be presenting about one of her favorite traditional practices, an Indonesian wedding.

On the other hand, Japan is another Asian country known for exceptional seasonal changes. Our students will be presenting about seasons and wants people to learn about “unique interesting features to see, hear and feel,” said presenter Kenshi Kawade.

You’re invited to attend the Global Series program at 6 p.m. today, Nov. 10, in the Holcombe Hall living room as we learn more about the history, culture and stories of these two countries.

Global Series is a program that offers international students and domestic students with a study abroad experience an opportunity to share their culture, beliefs and traditions with the U of A community. We want to feature and celebrate distinct cultures represented on campus. We want to learn about the different homes of our international students and the experiences of our domestic students in new countries. Join us as we learn and celebrate the diversity in our students.

This event is open to all U of A students, staff and faculty as well as the Fayetteville community. We encourage attendees to invite their families and friends.
