Cal Poly celebrates international flavor
POMONA - Dumplings, pita chips, ceviche and spring rolls were just a few dishes Cal Poly Pomona students were serving on Thursday.
As part of International Education Week, university and international students spent a few days this week celebrating their cultures' language, food, fashion, film and music using the theme "Explore Your World."
"International students enrich our educational experiences and bring in other perspectives and ideas," Cal Poly Provost Martin den Boer said.

International Education Week was a joint effort between the federal departments of State and Education to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from overseas to study, learn and exchange experiences in this country, according to the International Education Week's website.
On Thursday, students were not only entertained by the different cuisines, but also by the group Touzan, which performed a Japanese drum style called taiko.
"I was born in America, but my parents are from Japan, and thought I was too American and lacking in my culture, so I thought taiko would be a good way to keep in touch with my cultural roots," said Devan Koshu, a hotel management and restaurant major.
