Culture Night

by: Savitri

Like the past semesters, we go to culture night each time it’s held. Why? It brings back some college memories. Different of course since I was in Idaho but it’s better than nothing.

I had a lot of fun in college preparing for Intl’ night, Chinese New Years, and African Night. We had about 750 people for each event and the food and shows are alway great. At Idaho State University we had the luxury to use Sodexho’s kitchen. So we’d select 12-15 dishes and cook a large amount of them. We always have volunteers from the high schools so the whole preperation event was a very cultural experience in itself.

We were very good. By the time I left we had a food, transportation, public relations, donations, cleanup, entertainment, and a few others set up. So yes, once the show is over, we all can go home. It was great! I was always the food leader – maybe cause I use to work at Sodexho as a cashier and they thought I had connections. Either way, it was all good. Food was abundant and we always started on time. That was the biggest complaint from the previous years.
