Intercultural Olympics

Each year the Intercultrual Program puts on the "Intercultural Olympics" at the veledrome near campus.  It is a several hour event that has students competing in silly competitions (think water balloon toss, slip n slide, pillow fights, etc) in teams representing their home countries.  This year we had 8 teams -7 representing their home countries and one international team for those from countries without enough students to make a full team. 

I didn't get any photos of the actual events, but took a few of the opening/closing...

The opening includes a run around the track with a representative from each country carrying thier flag.  The procession is led by one of the Intercultural Team members carrying the torch!
