Some international students offered a bit of home culture: Mareike Hieber, Germany, shared Old German writing, like the Amish use in their Bibles; Essa Al Najrani and Abdullah Al Bahrani, Saudi Arabia, taught the guests some Arabic words and showed how a traditional male headdress is worn, as well as answering questions about Ramadan; and Joseph E. LeBlanc, physics instructor, told of the Daruma, a Japanese custom for making wishes, and presented one to Lizabeth Self Mullens, vice president for academic affairs/provost.(Photos by Phillip C.
