International Thanksgiving

The CRC started Thanksgiving off a tad early this year with our International Thanksgiving Feast!  The event took place in the Red Cedar Neighbhorhood, in Red Cedar Elementary School.  The CRC provided traditional Thanksgiving fare such as turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce.  We also partnered with residents as well as language and culture groups including La Casa and the Saudi Student Association to provide traditional ethnic dishes, which lent the event an international flair.

The feast!

The event attracted a rich mix of students and residents, both international and domestic, and was a great success thanks to all those who contributed to the feast!  East Lansing's newly sworn-in mayor Diane Goddeeris was in attendance, as was Mayor Pro-Tem Nathan Triplett.  Check out the article in the State News and coverage by Channel 10 for a taste of the action!

A huge thank you to all those who helped make our International Thanksgiving a success, especially to the Office of International Students and Scholars, Red Cedar School, the Red Cedar Community Association, and the Red Cedar School Association for their tremendous help in getting the word out.  Coming up next: the CRC will be participating in next month's Winter Glow in downtown East Lansing!  Don't forget to stop by our booth for fun activities and a chance to chat with the interns!

Interns Take a Coffee Break!

Stop by the CRC's table at today's International Coffee Hour between 4:00 and 6:00pm in Spartan Rooms B and C of the International Center!  Interns will be promoting the CRC as well as our upcoming International Thanksgiving Feast, to take place November 20th from 1:00-3:00pm in the multipurpose room of Red Cedar Elementary.  Check out the event on Facebook for more details and instructions on signing up to bring a dish to pass!
