LBCC International Programs and international student ambassadors are recruiting now for entries for the second annual International Culture Night performances, which will take place Friday, May 4 from 6-8 p.m  in the Russell Tripp Theater at the Albany Campus.

Students are invited to sign up to share their talent or fashion that has a cultural connection at this fun event using the link bit.ly/ICN2018 or by contacting IPambassadors@linbenton.edu, said Kim Sullivan, LBCC international student coordinator.  Sullivan said purple posters advertising the event and sign-up were created by international students and have been posted all around campus, and on LBLive.

Wondering what to share?  International students My Tran and Safiya Jameel, both sophomores, recalled a few examples from last year: students from Malaysia, China, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico performed songs or dances, fashions were shared by students from China, India, Saudi Arabia, Columbia, Vietnam, Morocco, and Algeria, and a Lebanese student performed magic.

Tran said if a student doesn't want to share a talent but just wants to come and watch the event, that's great too  - it's another reason the event is free.

"We're working hard to connect with students on campus," said Sullivan.
