Gaining a Global Mindset

March 7 was a day packed with colorful sights, sounds, and smells at the Global Enrichment Fest hosted by USM’s Parents’ Association. Nearly 30 countries, from Bangladesh to Venezuela, were represented, each with a brightly decorated booth and volunteers who answered questions and stamped visiting students’ “passports.” Guests also enjoyed performances from both student and professional dancers and musicians, and a sampling of foods from 15 countries. The annual event highlights a broad range of cultures and backgrounds, many of which are represented within USM’s own student body.
