About

The Seventh Annual International Jayhawk Festival will return on Thursday, April 13 from 3 to 5:30 p.m. in the Burge Union. The event is an opportunity for all Jayhawks to celebrate our global community and international engagement. The event will include free t-shirts, food, performances, activities and a study abroad fair. All are welcome. 

More than 45 student groups or academic units will be present, offering intercultural activities, demonstrations and global trivia. Students can meet with advisors from study abroad, discuss academic programs with area studies representatives and language departments, connect with foreign language clubs, explore international career opportunities and learn about international student organizations.

A highlight will be international performances, including those that represent Peruvian, Indonesian, Brazilian and Chinese cultures. The International Student Association will host an international fashion show.

Volunteers are needed to ensure a successful event.
