Hosted at the Charlie W. Capps, Jr. Archives and Museum building,\u00a0“Snow Cone Sunday” featured snow<\/span> cones from Mac\u2019s Shaved Ice\u00a0<\/span>and fun activities for international students to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Delta State University currently has nearly 100 international students from 42 countries.<\/p>\n

The event was organized by the International Faculty Association (IFSA); the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee; the International Student Support Office and the International Student Association. \u00a0Organizers also extend special thanks to Margaret Katembe, IFSA; Michelle Johansen, DEI Coordinator; Amber Hays, International Student Support Services; Emily Jones, Department of Archives and Museums; and Zaida Laventure, Isabelle Larsen and Nick Leger of the ISA.<\/p>\n
