UIS International Activities

40th Anniversary of the UIS International Festival!

This year, UIS celebrated the 40th International Festival.

Each year, hundreds of campus and community members have met for an international meal, programs and exhibits. Held this year at The Recreation and Athletic Center on November 3 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the Festival’s theme was “Anniversaries.”

The event is made possible through the work of volunteers, who spent hours working as masters of ceremony, setting up the stage, greeting guests at the door, and cleaning up afterwards.
