An annual event held every April, this month is comprised of events such as slide presentations and lectures about various cultures, a forum on international issues, and the lnternational Fair, where crafts, music, and costumes are displayed and samplings of food are available from the various participating countries. The month is capped off with Cultural Night with its costume shows, dancing, and local presentations from a variety of groups and clubs as well as participation from Salem and the neighboring communities.
Teach-In Program
The goal of this program is to foster global awareness in the elementary and high schools around the area. International students studying at SSC visit area classrooms to present new learning experiences about their countries. The content of the visit is flexible, allowing teachers, staff, and visiting students to plan sessions which are most appropriate to the ages and interests represented in the classrooms. Both international students and faculty members gain international perspectives on the world through this program.
Trips
The International Students Association organizes trips within the United States during holidays and breaks. These events are open to all interested.
International Dinners
These social events allow faculty members, staff, and students to get together to share ideas, experiences and good food from all over the world. These dinners are open to the SSC community so that international students can expand their social network throughout the campus.
