鈥淭he cook-off started as a way for our international students to showcase and share their cultures with American students,鈥 says Jessica Cohen, marketing coordinator, Office of Global Education. 鈥淲ith each cook-off event we鈥檝e had, we have seen more domestic students signing up to compete. If you think about it, everyone has a heritage or experience to share 鈥 a recipe passed down through the family or something you ate while studying abroad that reminds you of your travels. Sharing those cultures is what the cook-off is all about.鈥
