MC holds 2022 International Festival
The 2022 International Festival at Mississippi College, sponsored by the Office of Global Education, celebrated the cultural richness of MC’s student body and showcased the talents of students from around the globe.
The festival featured fourteen acts by MC students – from the songs and dances of cultures from Cambodia, China, Germany, India, Japan, Kenya, Nepal, and Taiwan, to a recitation of the 23rd Psalm in two Nigerian tribal dialects, to an exhibition by Ukrainian members of MC’s former world-class table tennis team – as well as a fashion show of traditional men’s and women’s clothing from a wide array of nations. The finale to the 90-minute festival was a sing-a-long of worship songs led by the Latino Church Band from Restoration Church in Ridgeland.
The festival was followed by a reception, which offered audience members the opportunity to interact with MC’s international students.
The festival is the only annual public fundraiser for international student scholarships at MC.
