International
Festival: The Office for International
Student Services arranges opportunities for
students to showcase their countries and culture
with the Las Cruces community through a spring
International Festival. The festival is open
to the public on Saturday. International students
decorate booths to display information about
their country. Some students sing, dance and
play musical instruments. Others prepare food
items for sharing with the audience of 500+
people who attend. On the Friday, school children
visit the booths and students teach them games
or engage in other activities related to their
home country. Sometimes students are asked
to talk about their country in local schools.
Exchange students are encouraged to become
involved with this and other activities sponsored
by the Office of International Student Services.

Study
Abroad Fair: Each semester the Office
sponsors a study abroad fair to inform NMSU
students about exchange opportunties. International
students are encouraged to bring information
about their schools. We can use catalogs, posters,
post cards and other items that help students
to understand the academic system and the community
in which they would be studying. If you can't
carry all this with you, ask your school to
send this information to our Office.

International
Picnic: Each
Fall semester the Rotary Clubs of Las Cruces, in
cooperation with the NMSU Rotaract Club, sponsor
a welcome picnic for international students.
The event allows incoming students to meet with
community people, to be entertained by various
groups such as Indian Dances and Mariachi, and
to enjoy typical U.S. picnic food. |
