The International Center kicked of the fall semester of 2015 by inviting its students to the Fall Picnic where international students munched on hamburgers, hotdogs, and, of course, desserts. In August, in order to enjoy a uniquely American tradition, international students zoomed over to the Minnesota State Fair.  When the leaves began to fall, international students shopped until they dropped at the Mall of America and later screamed with fright as they took a walk through Saint Mary’s Walk of Horror. As the cold began to set in for winter, international students listened, sang and danced to music performed at Blue Angel and also found time to cheer SMU’s Men’s Hockey team to victory. To celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, international students attended the International Center’s annual Thanksgiving lunch where they toasted to new and old friendships. In anticipation of winter break, international students took a trolley ride through Winona to see its neighborhoods decorated with millions of twinkling Christmas lights.
