Dear Students:

The annual Speakers' Fair event is to be held during NDSU's Spring Break March 16-20.

The Speakers' Fair is a program where international students share their alphabet, songs, and stories with local and rural North Dakota area elementary, middle and high school students. In addition, many students wear their traditional clothing and bring money and arts/crafts from their country to share with the school children. The Speakers' Fair program is such a great way to teach local students about many cultures of the world, and it exposes them to diversity. Plus, it's held during NDSU's Spring Break so you don't even have to miss classes! OIP will provide the transportation.

If you are interested in signing up to participate in the Speakers' Fair, please come to the Office of International Programs to sign up soon!!! (we have only 140 spots open).

This is a great way to meet cultural service requirements for those of you receiving a scholarship (You can get up to 6 scholarship hours).
