UCLA hosts International Food Festival to connect students

The UCLA Dashew Center for International Students and Scholars, in collaboration with Wescom Financial and ASUCLA, hosted an International Food Festival at the Ackerman Union Grand Ballroom on Wednesday night.

The event aimed to bring international and domestic students together through shared culinary experiences, cultural performances, and games. Attendees viewed performances by Kyodo Taiko and Grupo Folklórico de UCLA while participating in raffles.

Organizers noted that the festival served as a platform for international students to share their traditions and for the broader UCLA community to learn about exchange programs and diverse cultures.
