The International Center sponsored an overnight trip during Spring Break to visit three well-known sites in the Twin Cities. Seven international students enjoyed tasting international cuisines at Midtown Global Market, shopping at Southdale Mall, and learning about space exploration at the Science Museum of Minnesota. We modified our original plan to visit Mall of America due to concerns by many parents after they received news about the threats made by the Al Shabaab group. This trip served as an invaluable bonding experience for the students and a chance to learn more about US culture.
