Students provide a Taste of Saudi Arabia

International students add cultural — and culinary — variety to the Winona campus. In October, students at the De La Salle Language Institute and the Center for International Students sponsored the “Taste of Saudi Arabia” for the campus community. The event provided a wonderful opportunity for our students, faculty and staff to broaden their global and multicultural perspective.

Approximately 100 community members enjoyed Arabic food, music, dancing and cultural displays presented by students from Saudi Arabia with the assistance of DLI and Center staff. The event was the inspiration of our international student body, wanting to support the rebuilding efforts of the Winona Islamic Center which was destroyed by fire. “Taste of Saudi Arabia” raised $700 for the rebuilding fund.
