More than 50 international students from 17 countries participated in the Office of International Programs annual Speakers’ Fair during NDSU’s spring break, March 14-18.

The Speakers’ Fair has been organized annually for more than 20 years and encourages NDSU international students to share their country’s language, history, music and traditions with local and rural North Dakota elementary, middle and high school students.

This year, the fair reached nearly 500 students in grades two through ten. Participants visited Discovery Junior High School in Fargo; Cheney Middle School in West Fargo; Kindred Elementary; Richland High School in Colfax, N.D.; and the Drake Residential Center in Detroit Lakes, Minn.

The Office of International Programs, with the Division of Equity, Diversity, and Global Outreach, organizes a number of campus and community outreach events throughout the year.
