International Talent and Fashion Show

For the past several years, UB’s domestic and international communities have joined together for an unforgettable evening filled with song, dance, fashion, and international appreciation. This brings UB students, staff and faculty together on an inspirational tour around the world, with highlights from the dozens of countries that our students either call home, or consider a part of their family heritage. We are inviting YOU to join in the stunning displays, whether it be to introduce the UB community to the colors and fabrics of your home country, to delight the audience with a production of a famous song or dance from another land, or to impress your peers with your talents!   Join International Student Services (ISS) in our celebration of UB’s unmatched multicultural talent and pride in this annual tradition! 

To sign up, please stop by the International Student Services Office, Wahlstrom Library, Room G-133.  The deadline to sign up is Friday, October 30, 2015 by 4:30p.m.
