International Week at Rhodes was 18-24 May 2013. The goal was to promote internationalism at the university. The week started off with the International Parade! Each residence hall was assigned a different country (for countries where there were no students at Rhodes) and had to dress up and learn about that country. Lucky for me, being American doesn't require too much preparation. I woke up early on Saturday morning, threw on jeans and my flag tank and headed down to walk in the parade. Despite having to wake up at 8am on a Saturday, it was a really cool experience getting to walk all over town with all the different flags flying proudly.

The rest of the week was filled with demonstations, lectures, and so forth. Overall it was a really cool week to be an international!
