Global Village is a vibrant evening when the SPS community shares the food, cultures, attire and arts of our many diverse backgrounds. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many universities worldwide considered canceling eagerly awaited annual events like Global Village. However, SPS carried on with this beloved tradition and celebrated Global Village in a whole new virtual way.
GV 2021 was held on Friday, March 26th, 2021 Virtually. We visited the home (or adopted) countries of fellow students, staff and faculty through videos submissions of their personal visual tours giving us a peek into their homes for cooking demonstrations and dance performances.
Countries and cultures featured were China, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Greece, Guyana, Honduras, India, Italy, Japan, Jewish Culture, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey
We held drawings for Global Village T-shirts, restaurant gift cards, and our grand prize a $100 Amazon gift card.
Donation drive for World Central Kitchen was also held. Donors received the Official Global Village Cookbook containing recipes from the event and submissions from SPS Students.
