Connecting through food
When the smell of a delicious meal wafts through the halls of a dorm, it can only mean one thing…. international cooks are in the kitchen! One of the most popular ways Global UGRAD participants share their cultures with their host communities is through food.

Naomi made nasi lemak and Airat made a noodle soup and echpochmak. Read more in Western Washington University’s newspaper, the Western Front: http://www.westernfrontonline.com/2017/03/07/global-gourmet-banquet-gives-western-a-taste-of-the-world/.
Thank You WWU for your dedication to the international community and for finding creative ways to encourage Global UGRAD participants to share a bit of their homes with us
