Global Scholars Host International Festival

On November 21, 2019, the NCC Global Scholars and NCC Student Government co-hosted the NCC International Festival, an exciting afternoon event celebrating the diverse countries and cultural identities of Nash Community College.

Global Scholars Program International Festival

Over 60 students representing Spanish, ESL, History, and British Literature classes and from clubs such as Dungeons and Dragons, Global Scholars, and the Early College International Club sponsored booths with educational information, pictures, activities, and food introducing 200 festival attendees to specific countries, cultures, or regions.

The purpose of this inaugural event was to encourage interactions between individuals of all backgrounds while upholding the values of diversity, inclusivity, and cultural appreciation. This event sought to promote cultural competency and expose students, faculty, and staff to new perspectives and traditions from different areas around the world.
