The nations represented at the dinner included Armenia, Austria, Bahrain, Cuba, Haiti, the Philippines and South Korea, among others. The event also featured music by the school's Jazz Ensemble, directed by Arts Department chair Erick Storckman, and salsa and cha-cha dance lessons.
"The primary goal of this event was to assist students and the community as a whole in gaining knowledge about other cultures, as well as empathizing with them in order to create a more tolerant society," noted SRDS spokesman Peter Martin.
"The food was delicious and the entertainment was superb. Special thanks to those who attended and who helped in all aspects of making the event a success."
