A special event celebrating global food cultures!

Friendsgiving is not just another Thanksgiving gathering. It's a unique celebration where international student clubs have the chance to showcase their cultural heritage through the incredible medium of food. We're assembling a fantastic lineup of cultural clubs, each representing a different part of the world, to share their culinary traditions!

On November 13, prepare a dish representing your culture and bring samples for sharing. Set up a cultural display or booth to complement your food offering. Share interesting facts, traditions, or artifacts that represent your culture. Lastly, help us spread the word! Share this invitation with your club members, friends, and social media networks.
