40th annual International Night celebrates community in diversity

Edmonds Community College will host its 40th annual International Night at 7 p.m. Friday, March 1, at the Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA). This event celebrates community in diversity at Edmonds CC through music, dance, and the arts performed by students.

More than 40 countries were represented at Edmonds CC’s 2018 International Night.

“When International Night first began, it was a small, on-campus event,” said Lisa Thompson, International Student Services interim executive director. “Now, it has become a beloved community event with participation from multiple areas of campus and representation of more than 40 countries.

“This is a unique opportunity for our student body to share their cultures and for the community to experience it and celebrate with them.”

Tickets are available for $10 at the Edmonds CC Cashier’s Office in Lynnwood Hall or $15 at the door at ECA. Watch highlights from last year on YouTube.

“With the intercampus support of the Center for Student Engagement and Leadership, Housing, and International Student Services, Edmonds CC continues to show dedication to teaching, learning, and community through this event,” Thompson said.

ECA is at 410 Fourth Ave. N in Edmonds.
