Coffees, teas and desserts from around the world sweetened conversations among N.C. State University students and faculty members at the CALS-hosted International Tea.
The event, held in April in the atrium of the David Clark Laboratories, featured treats from such countries as Turkey, Kenya, Ghana, Romania and Honduras.
Students and staff members from at least 15 countries attended and provided the food and beverages. Special guests included Louis Boisvert, Canada's counsul and senior trade commissioner in Raleigh, and Patty Kustrong, education program officer with the Organization for Tropical Studies headquartered at Duke University. CALS Ambassadors served as hosts.
Dr. Larry Nelson, CALS assistant dean for international programs, says that the event was designed to give students and faculty members an informal way to meet people from around the world and to learn more about different cultures.
