International Student Dinner

Here's the International Dinner in full swing.

The student body that comprises our international student population is incredibly varied. TCC has students from 5 continents representing 35 countries. Our largest groups come from the Philipines, Viet Nam, China and Japan. and we even have one person each from Argentina, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Italy, Sudan, and Albania. These international students bring a unique cultural feel to the campuses of Tidewater Community College and remind us of just how important it is for Americans to increase their awareness of our world. Internationalization is no longer just an idea but is an active way of life for students and staff of TCC. The dinner offers an incredible opportunity for American students to make lasting and enriching friendships with students from other cultures.

Desserts are always numerous at the International Dinners. Great desserts know no cultural boundaries!

Here's a wonderful Strawberry and banana crepe dish.

Just some of the wonderful food at this year's dinner.

More wonderful food all prepared by students.

This is a humorous dish called a Hedgehog from Poland.

Visitors to the dinner make the difficult choice of what to eat from the buffet line. There was more to choose than could fit on one plate.
