With over 35 different nationalities represented on campus, cultural diversity is something that we celebrate regularly here at IMI.

Never is this truer than during our regular International Nights where students showcase their home countries through food, drink and performance.

Our most recent event was no exception, with friends, families and guests enjoying cuisines from different international food stalls before enjoying a varied showcase of our students’ talents.

As normal, everything ran very smoothly during the evening with students entertaining and greeting guests with their usual warmth and hospitality.

However, the fun had on the night belies the hard work and preparation that went in to making it such a success.

The days leading up to the event saw our kitchens full, with delicious aromas emanating from every corner, as students worked tirelessly to prepare dishes, delicacies and treats from their countries.

Meanwhile, in our Main Dining Hall, performers were practising their song, dance and instrumental performances to ensure our guests were entertained on the night.

One of the great things about the International Nights is the chance to welcome back former students and those currently on internship placements in Switzerland.

Recent alumna Kayleigh De Jong was back on campus for the event and loved how many fond memories it brought back for her.

“I am so happy to experience it (International Night) one more time,” she said.

It is an amazing night to catch up with everyone and try all the foods the students made, and the staff and students such a great job of organising the event.”

A big well done to all our students – especially the SRC members – who worked so hard to make this International Night such a great evening. We eagerly await the next one…
