International students came together to celebrate and show pride in their cultures during Global Culture Night at the EIU Martin Luther King Jr. University Union on Saturday evening.
Hosted by the Association of International Students, the event was held to demonstrate to international students that there is a safe space for them at Eastern and to showcase their cultures to the EIU and Charleston communities.
The event started with a Kahoot about the various cultures and countries around the world that Eastern’s international students come from.
Throughout the night, there were speeches from international students about the United States and the culture shock they experienced when moving here.
Performances by a dance team of international students also took place, and they sometimes encouraged audience participation.
Anthony Amotoe Bondzie, a graduate assistant specializing in energy management, performed a traditional drum dance called “Jema,” which is about bringing the community together and remembering home.
Amotoe Bondzie said that there is no discrimination when performing the dance.
“It’s all about seeing each other, having a feeling of being in a group,” Amotoe Bondzie said.
One of the event organizers was AIS President Krishna Daravath, a grad student in technology and MBA, who said he loves doing these events for the international community to show different stories and cultures to people from the surrounding area.
“These are the kind of events that will encourage internationals to look up to EIU,” Daravath said.
One of the other organizers was International Student Coordinator Benjamen Rienbolt.
“Currently, we have 56 countries represented at EIU this semester alone,” said Rienbolt.

As Israel intensifies its forced starvation and genocide of Palestinians, now more than ever is the time to study the history of Palestine and the movement today. Join Students for Socialism and the Muslim Student Association at EIU for a free screening of The Encampments followed by a reflective discussion!

The Encampments takes viewers inside America’s student uprising with incredible intimacy and urgency. Following Palestinian student leaders like Mahmoud Khalil and tracing the history of Palestine’s occupation from its inception, the film showcases students across the globe heeding Palestinians’ call for collective action while highlighting the decades of resistance on the ground through the Great March of Return, both Intifadas, and the current resistance movement.

Come learn about the student resistance movement for Palestine and discuss how to build the movement here at Eastern.
