Huntington, WV (HNN) -- The multi-purpose room at the Memorial Student Center became a synergy of cultural and ethnic friendships as international students, community members, and students living in the U.S.A. gathered for fellowship and fun.
 
The exposition featured displays and foods from countries as diverse as Saudi Arabia and Turkey to Japan, China, and Vietnam.
