Global Flavors Fiesta Celebrating Culture and Community at SUNY Korea In Fall 2025, the Global Flavors Fiesta returned to SUNY Korea with renewed energy, stronger community engagement, and even greater cultural diversity. Held on November 14, the event gave students the opportunity to experience traditional Mexican culture through authentic food, vibrant decorations, and a meaningful cultural performance inspired by Mexican traditions. Hosted by the International Student Association (ISA), the goal of this event was to create a space for students to experience global cultures through food, performance, and active participation. The theme for this year was "Viva México," to emphasize the beauty found in Mexican cooking and artistry, while still encouraging multicultural participation from our diverse student body. Beyond the festive atmosphere, the Global Flavors Fiesta served as an essential cultural platform for SUNY Korea students. Events like this provide opportunities for cross-cultural interaction, appreciation for global traditions, and a larger sense of belonging among students. Whether students choose to take part in the festival through cooking or performance, or simply come as an attendee, the Festival offers a place to build community and creative expression, while enriching transactional and social aspects of campus life. With SUNY Korea's and the university's growth as an international campus, projects such as the Global Flavors Fiesta played a valuable role in developing cultural appreciation and advancing meaningful experiences for students throughout their academic careers. By integrating food, art, and community, this event truly reflected the diversity of SUNY Korea students. Written by Student Reporter, Moldir Salim (moldir.salim@stonybrook.edu)

[Student Reporter] FIT x Dior: A Two-Part Experience Following Luxury, Legacy, and Innovation This May, a group of FIT students at SUNY Korea had the opportunity to go on a two-part field trip in collaboration with the global luxury house Dior. Created to increase their understanding concerning the Dior brand identity, immersive retail experiences, and strategic marketing, the trip provided both a public showcase and a special behind-the-scenes perspective on how Dior continues to lead in the world of luxury fashion. The trip began on May 11, with a visit to the Dior: Designer of Dreams exhibition, held at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP). The exhibition, which has toured across cities such as London, Paris, and Shanghai, arrived in Seoul for a showcase running from April 19 to July 13, 2025. With its thematic focus on flowers, gardens, and lavish balls, the exhibition showcases the creative legacy and strong identity the House of Dior has continued to build upon for decades. Students explored the venue, immersed in haute couture creations, archival designs, and multimedia displays – a window into Dior’s artistic evolution throughout the years. The exhibition was followed by an exclusive visit to the Dior Seongsu store on Friday, May 16. Praised by LVMH Chairman Bernard Arnault for its architectural beauty and innovative concept, students gained insight into what a successful concept store looks like, from design to location curation. The visit included a 30-minute guided tour of the space, which places Dior’s identity within a uniquely Korean context. FIT students then had the pleasure of sitting down with Dior’s Marketing Director, who led an intimate Q&A session complete with refreshments from Dior’s private café. Topics ranged from the brand's process in developing the Seongsu concept store to the specific responsibilities and challenges of luxury marketing leadership. For students aspiring to careers in luxury fashion, retail, or marketing, the Dior collaboration was both memorable and deeply instructive. It offered a rare opportunity to witness luxury branding in action and engage directly with industry professionals – enriching their understanding and sparking new inspiration. With Dior to look up to as a leader in storytelling, design, and consumer engagement, FIT students left the experience inspired and ready to shape the future of fashion with the same visionary spirit of beauty and innovation.
