Travel
the World Every Wednesday at Lunch: Ball
State University Hosts Weekly International Culture Exchange
The
Ball State University Rinker Center for International Programs hosts a Culture
Exchange each week were an international student presents information about a
country. Every week a different country
is highlighted. The majority of
exchanges provide an overview of the country and its culture with time set
aside for a question and answer session.
The presentations are held every Wednesday from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm in
the Phyllis Yuhas Room in the Student Center (Room 102).
The
Ball State University Libraries’ GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC)
provides maps and charts and photographs from atlases as visual aids for the
culture presentations. The map posters
from previous culture exchanges are available from the Libraries’ Cardinal Scholar. Simply type in the name of a
