*Background:* The University YMCA, Cosmopolitan Club and ISSS have been
co-sponsoring this event for the campus and community for 30 years.
"Champaign-Urbana is a community that is rich with cultural diversity,”
says Program Director Kasey Umland, “and International Dinner and
Performance Night is an opportunity for all to come together around
delicious food and celebrate that.”

 Since 1918, the University YMCA has hosted and sponsored programs to
foster international understanding and cultural awareness and provide
service to international students, faculty, and staff. We have continued
this legacy of international programming on campus that embraces diversity,
encourages progress through democracy, and promotes peace through sympathy
and understanding, and service to humanity.
