More than 40 unique cultures were represented at the Bazaar through performances, interactive tables, and international cuisine. The event was hosted on April 19 by Lehigh’s Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) and the student-led International Bazaar Board.
“I was so proud of the student Bazaar Board for being flexible with last-minute adjustments and solutions,” said Patricia Goldman, Assistant Director of International Student Engagement. “They have been working since January, so it was beautiful to see the event finally come together despite the rain.”
The event was held at Building C on Lehigh’s Mountaintop Campus, featuring cultural performances, student organization tables, and food from local restaurants.
With more than 1,000 international students at Lehigh representing 84 countries and more than 40 student cultural organizations, the Bazaar continues to celebrate the diversity and global perspectives that define the Lehigh experience.
