Graduate Cultural Food Fest

Thursday, June 4th (5-7pm)
Burwell Center Room 340

GSG is bringing the Cultural Food Fest to our graduate community!
Join us for a special opportunity to come together, celebrate diversity, and experience the rich flavors of cultures represented across DU.

We invite you to bring a special dish from the place you call home—something that represents your culture, your story, and your traditions.

Come ready to share, taste, and connect with fellow graduate students through food! The Global Kitchen will also be available prior to the event for anyone who may need a space to prepare their dish.

There is absolutely no obligation to bring a dish—feel free to just come, enjoy the food, and celebrate with the community!

Cultural attire is optional but highly encouraged!

Food provided! (GSG will be providing light dishes to help kick off the gathering!)
