The Â鶹´«Ã½ International Students Association (DISA) and the Â鶹´«Ã½ Arts and Social Sciences Society (DASSS) are putting the house back in Â鶹´«Ã½ as they bring the whole world under one roof at the World of Winter (WOW) Festival.??

The WOW Festival celebrates – you guessed it! – winter and world cultures. Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s finest will be showcased for your entertainment and enjoyment. Ever felt like knitting your grandmother a sweater? Learn how at an exclusive knitting workshop. Get yo swag on with fresh threads from Nepal, and bust a move to some Persian piano (or the jazz band if that’s your thing). Grab a bite of Acadian food – or if that’s too exotic for you how about some Italian food??

Performances and events put on by the Spanish department, Â鶹´«Ã½ Improv Club and over 10 other societies will be ready to ring in the New Year with a celebration of diversity and culture.

This event is free. Strut into the cultural diversity of Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s student and faculty Thursday, January 20 between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. in the SUB lobby and Room 307. Find out for yourselves what hidden talents your fellow tigers have to offer and enjoy the cultural diversity Â鶹´«Ã½ has to offer.
