On May 16th, 2025, the International Student Association (ISA) hosted the Global Flavors Fiesta at the IGC Dining Hall, bringing together students of SUNY Korea, George Mason University Korea, University of Utah Asia Campus, and Yonsei University for an evening of cultural exchange and celebration.
The event opened with a warm welcome, as students, faculty, and staff gathered to enjoy a wide variety of international dishes and connect with one another. Guests had the chance to explore flavors from around the world, such as Indian samosas, Nigerian Jollof Rice, Uzbekistan Plov, Korean chicken, and many more, all while engaging in conversations that highlighted the diverse backgrounds and experiences present on campus.
A highlight of the evening was a live performance by Dimo the Magician, whose interactive tricks and use of audience volunteers captivated the crowd. His theatrical antics added an unexpected and entertaining twist to the night, leaving many surprised and delighted.
With delicious food, great company, and engaging entertainment, the Global Flavors Fiesta offered more than just a meal, it created a space for connection, appreciation, and shared joy. Events like these continue to reflect ISA’s mission to foster inclusivity and global understanding within the SUNY community.
