The International Students Association (ISA) and the African Students Association (ASA) collaborated to bring the Abilene community a taste of the many cultures represented by the ACU student body. Students were invited to represent their culture’s cuisine by serving samples to attendees holding event tickets. This year, ISA’s collaboration with ASA included a cultural fashion show while guests enjoyed their dishes.
