World Showcase Proposal

Each semester, the International House chooses 3-4 countries or cultures for the World Showcase Series. Each country/culture has 3 events which includes the following: Cooking Demonstration, Coffeehouse (movie, lecture, dance, etc.), and the Culture Night. All funding for these events is covered by the International House. This form allows UT students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to submit a proposal for the World Showcase. Remember, we have many countries and cultures to consider and only 4 selections each semester. Priority is given based on the following: 1. Commitment by students to be involved and present for the week of events 2. Availability of resources to adequately highlight that country or culture 3. Participation of students, faculty, and staff from that country or culture. *This form is not intended for students to suggest countries or cultures that may be interesting. It should be used by individuals from that country/culture indicating that they would like to share their culture with others and that they have cultural resources to help. Also, the program is a collaborative effort and should not be construed as the I-House simply paying for another group's event.
