Mardi Gras Celebration at Global Engagement Night

On Tuesday, February 17, international and American students came together to Office of International Affairs’ Global Engagement Night to celebrate the famous Mardi Gras carnival. Students learned about the origins of the carnival, traditions associated with the celebration, and how is this event observed in different parts of the world. There were carnival masks, food, music, and the traditional King Cake with its small plastic baby hidden inside, found by a lucky student!
