From traditional foods to lively entertainment, students from various countries at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work will offer a taste of their homelands at the 15th annual International Festival beginning at 5 p.m. Sunday, March 22, in Lab Science Building, Room 300.

The event, which is open to the public, begins with an international banquet and art exhibition.
