Congrats to our Holcombe and Futrall Halls Lead Hogs who paired with the Northwest Quad and won the Housing division of Homecoming.

We also had a successful fall festival in the Futrall courtyard with pumpkin carving. Some international students got to experience Halloween in America for the first time.

India Series

At Holcombe Hall, we had the India Geography series and several students presented about their regions of India. We had a great turn out, residents and outside students who study international relations came over to Holcombe to learn about India.

Rashi Ghosh, Belle Joy, and Vidushi Sinha presented about history, media, relations, culture, music, festivals, and famous people from India. Attendees got to sample various finger foods from northern and southern India.

Future Programs

We have Germany (Nov. 7) and Austria (Nov. 14) geography series in the upcoming weeks. Each starts at 8 p.m. in the Holcombe living room.

We will have our annual Dance Around the World event at 7 p.m., Nov. 11 in the living room during international education week.

All of campus is invited!

Some performances featured will be Irish clog dancing, Egyptian dancing and a German waltz by our very own international Razorback students.
