Around the World in 7 Hours

The annual Global Enrichment Festival, hosted by USM’s Parents’ Association, once again invited students to take a journey filled with colorful sights and sounds without ever leaving campus. The event featured booths, games, performances, music, and artifacts representing a broad range of cultures and backgrounds, many of which are represented within USM’s own student body. It supports USM’s guiding principle of inclusion, in which students are prepared for the opportunities of a diverse world.
