Top 50 Liberal Arts Colleges

This past Saturday was the annual International Bazaar. One of the things DePauw prides itself on is being a truly global campus. This means both having one of the highest study abroad participation rates among small liberal arts colleges and having an ever increasing number of international students. In order to engage in intellectual thought/discussion in today's world, you have to have a classroom made of diverse people with diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

The International Bazaar is event that celebrates DePauw's cultural diversity though food, dance, music, story telling and more. This year more than 30 countries, from which DePauw students hail were represented through over 50 food dishes and dozens of cultural performances.

I had been looking forward to this event all week and let me tell you, it was totally worth it. I tried all sorts of great ethnic foods and saw some great performances by our students from all over the world. Below is a picture of my girlfriend, Meredith, and I, taken just outside the International Bazaar while we were standing in line. I decided to wear a sherwani I got while completing an internship in India last fall. More pictures from the International Bazaar are available by clicking here.
