Kanaya said, provide many opportunities for stu
dents to mingle and leam from one another.
“One reason I came to A&M was to leam and
to be exposed to other cultures,” he said. “I feel
International Week is the best we can do in terms
of mingling with other people.”
Sharath Suryanarayan, director of the cultural
display and a mechanical engineering graduate
student from India, said students should expect to
see paintings, hear music and experience many
other aspects of the different countries represented
at the cultural display.
“Each country is coming up with their own
theme particular to their own culture,” he said. “We
want to give people exposure to other cultures.”
Droleskey said interaction w ill be the key to a
successful cultural display.
“Throughout our lives we have been told not to
stare and not to ask questions,” she said. “These peo
ple want you to look and want you to ask questions.”
Jana said the talent show and dress parade
will feature traditional dancing, singing and
clothing from the many international clubs that
will be participating.
“We want the international students to come
out of their comfort zones and see things in a more
worldly view,” he said. "Overall, we want people
to think critically about the world they live in.”
Leadership in the ISA has allowed him the
opportunity to be more in touch with the opera
tions of the University. Jana said.
“Being president of the ISA has provided me
with a better understanding of how our school is
run,” he said. “It makes me even prouder to be
an Aggie.”

skits were eye opening to dif

Nelson said he attended the
show because he knew other
people coming, and someone in
the show and said it was not
that bad.
“Overall it was an enlighten
ing experience,” Nelson said.
