Students, faculty, staff and the community will have the opportunity to see and taste the world without leaving the Iowa Central Campus on Wednesday April 10 during the 35^th Annual Focus International Festival of Nations.

The event will begin at 10 a.m. and continue through 2 p.m. in the Triton Café.

今年的焦点节将以国际美食和来自世界各地的食物为特色，而不是一个特定的国家，节日协调员杰西卡巴特菲尔德贝利说。

“We chose to change and go with a theme of food rather than just one country,” said Butterfield Bailey. “That can really broaden the event and represent many more countries.”

鼓励学生和员工以及社区参加，甚至在活动中展示或提供食物样品。

“Anyone from a specific cultural background, or even if they just have a special interest in a country can create a display and participate,” said Butterfield Bailey. “We would love to see a large representation from around the world.”

The Triton Café will offer an internationally themed lunch during the event, and community members in attendance will receive a free meal.

今年是玛丽·苏拉·林尼博士国际聚焦系列节目的第35个年头。 这个系列是由林尼博士创作的，他是爱荷华中心的一名长期雇员，直到2005年，他一直是爱荷华中心的西班牙语讲师、系主任和副校长。 爱荷华中心通过一年一度的节日保留了她的遗产。
