Hesston College students will share a sampling of the campus’ global and cultural diversity with a Cultures Fair at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 26, in the Hesston Mennonite Church Community Center. The event is free and open to the public.

International students and students from non-dominant North American cultures will display information about their countries, customs and culture for participants to browse through while they interact with the students, sample ethnic foods and enjoy live performances of global music and dances.

“Even though the majority of students on our campus come from a dominant white North American background, we have students from other countries and experiences who represent rich cultures,” said Jeron Baker, director of International Student Life. “The Cultures Fair will give the students a chance to share their traditions with the rest of campus and the community.”

About 50 international students at Hesston College represent 17 countries while other students represent non-dominant North American ethnicities like African-American, Native American and Hispanic.

“Hopefully we will all be reminded that there is much more to the world than the dominant culture with which we are most familiar,” said Baker.
