The IIC Potluck: A Multicultural Feast!

Hello, everyone!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the IIC Potluck this Friday. We had a feast beyond anything we could have imagined, including several types of curry, pad-thai, apple pie, quinoa salad, pierogis, jalapeno poppers, bean dip, edamame, Southern casseroles, and so much more. And when we say so much, we mean... well... look:

And that's not even including the extra side tables of more food and dessert!!

Needless to say, we had a lovely time feasting and socializing in the International House, where we hope to continue holding delicious quarterly potlucks! Students brought significant others and friends and we enjoyed listening to IIC alum Penelope talk about the Pew Environment Fund. We also honored students who are graduating this quarter -- see a photo of Kelly, Suzanne, and Jill below! Congratulations to everyone graduating this quarter, and to new students now past the half-way point in their first quarter of grad school.

Happy Halloween this weekend, everyone!
