Global Connections Presentations, Pecha Kucha Style
In honor of International Education Week  we are holding this special event (during what is usually our Global Cafe) to give internationally-minded students the opportunity to share their stories with the Tulane community.   The “Global Connections” theme also applies to this event, and members of the international community will be sharing experiences of what they have gone through while adapting to the states, stories from home, and highlights from their research and work here at Tulane.
·         When: Monday, October 17th, 3:00 to 5:00 PM
·         Where: Pedersen Lobby, LBC (Bldg. 29)
What is Pecha Kucha?
Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise and keeps things moving at a rapid pace. For more information, visit www.pechakucha.org.

Sign up below to welcome our international students by hosting them for lunch or dinner at your home or dorm!

What is Experience American Tastes (EAT)? – Happening on Saturday, October 22nd and Sunday, October 23rd

If you want to enjoy the company of international guests, become a host, and share a meal with other international students and scholars on October 22nd and 23rd, sign up here!   After you sign up we will be giving you specific information about who you have been paired up with, information on dietary restrictions, and conversation tips for both you and your guest!
