On January 11th, Wyoming Seminary held one of its annual International Club events, the International Dinner. As one of the most significant events at Sem, the International Dinner features international students from 17 countries cooking their own traditional food to represent their country. For example, Germany prepared “Kaiserschmarrn,” also known as scrambled pancakes, which was one of the most popular foods at the dinner. In addition to Germany, several other countries, including Israel, South Korea, China, Spain, Canada, and Puerto Rico served their cultural foods. 

The International dinner was not only an excellent opportunity to share other countries’ foods and cultures, but it was also provided a rare opportunity for domestic students and boarders to try foods from other countries. One of the local boarders, Emily Urbanski ’20, said, “I really enjoyed [the] International Dinner because it is one of the events during the year where everyone can participate. Everyone can go and try the food, and you really get to experience the culture yourself.” 

The International dinner allowed international students and American students to communicate and bond over great food. It is events like the International Dinner that help Sem to showcase its cultural diversity and bring together boarders, day students, and faculty for a carefully planned and well-received event.
