South Carolina State University’s Office of International and National Student Exchange Programs announced several events are being held during International Awareness Month.
This year’s theme is “Connecting Ourselves Globally: Many Nations One World.”
“The International Awareness Month’s activities constitute a rich array of programs created by the efforts of many faculty, staff and students across the campus,” said Dr. Learie Luke, director of OINSEP. “The campus community and the Orangeburg community are invited to attend and enjoy this festival of cultures.”
The main event is S.C. State’s signature Parade of Nations on Thursday, Nov. 10, at 12:30 p.m. It will feature flags of various countries and be led by the drumline of the Marching 101 band.
The parade will begin in front of the Martin Luther King Jr. Auditorium and end in the Student Plaza.
