  This used to be a great event, bringing together hundreds of international people from the Pittsburgh area, featuring foods from all around the world and a multi-cultural talent show.

  Presented at our departmental Winter Party in 2003, this funny movie enjoyed a huge success, and the department later used it as a recruitment tool.
