NEWS FROM OBI

Students Celebrate Diversity At Oneida Baptist Institute Culture Fair
By Tamara Cochran, OBI publications

One of the things that makes Oneida Baptist Institute unique is the diversity among the student body and an appreciation for these differences. This year OBI has 29 international students from 10 different countries. This number is up from the normal 15-20 students.

Four years ago the Student Government Association initiated the Culture Fair as an annual event to give international students a forum to share their cultures with their American peers. At the Culture Fair, food is the main focus, but students may also dress in native garb and prepare other visual displays for their tables. Some even play musical recordings from their countries. This year 12 countries were represented by 16 groups.

The SGA pairs participants with OBI staff members, and students prepare their dishes in the kitchens of these adult sponsors. This activity is always well attended by the staff and student body.

In the picture, sophomore Dee Dee Torbert helped freshman Ye-Ra Han and sophomore Hae-Jin Bae put the finishing touches on their food for the OBI Culture Fair. The Korean students prepared some of the fair's most exotic dishes, including sushi and squid.
