Every year the Office of International Education and the International Student Association (ISA) puts on an extravagant fashion show during Diversifest. The Office of International Education (OIE) is a great resource on campus for international students and all students looking to study abroad. OIE works very closely with the International Student Association (ISA). ISA is a student organization on campus that offers a space for international students and others alike to bond, share their culture, promote cultural diversity, and have awesome events like the fashion show! The fashion show showcases beautiful outfits from nations far and wide! The entire community is welcomed and encouraged to participate as models or by donating traditional clothing from their country or one they have visited. The purpose of the show is to highlight different cultures and countries represented in our community as well as to fund raise for a different charity every year. This year’s charity was “Global Growers”.
“The Global Growers Network creates new agricultural opportunities in Georgia for international farmers who were forced to flee their homelands as refugees, due to war, genocide and persecution. The Network uses a whole-systems approach to produce good food, train and place farmers, and create economic opportunity for local communities in the Decatur-Clarkston-Stone Mountain area.”
