Clark College is hosting an International Day celebration for the Vancouver community from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on February 13 in Gaiser Student Center, GHL 150 on the main campus, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way. The event offers a variety of free, family-friendly activities to learn about and celebrate cultures worldwide. It also is an opportunity to celebrate international education and exchange and to learn about the college’s International Programs department. Associate Director of International Programs Jody Shulnak said, “Bringing folks together to learn about a variety of cultures and celebrating global exchange are highlights of this annual event. It’s also
an opportunity for international students and those in our ESL program to engage and share about their home countries. It’s a meaningful event all around.”
