Join International Programs for a festive Fall Break Meal on November 24, welcoming community members and international students for this shared meal. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (CST), attendees can enjoy a traditional holiday feast featuring turkey, vegetarian options, and classic sides at Old Brick. Space is limited, so participants are required to register for their preferred time slot.

The lectures will explore Korean memory, identity, and representation with the first looking at how ecology and history intertwine in Jeju’s Giving Forest, and the second investigating how North Korean refugee authors challenge dominant narratives through fiction.
