International week is held the same time every year on Nov. 17 through Nov. 21. International week is a national event held throughout the United States to honour international students by planning events to highlight how important they are to their colleges.

On Tuesday, the Global Education held an event where international students and students can play a game of soccer together. This gives them a chance to get to know each other through the sport. This was also a great opportunity to have their skills challenged and to learn how to work with each other.

There were two games played with teams chosen each game. Although the games were very competitive, it was a warm and welcoming environment. Throughout the game, laughter and chatter were heard on the field.

Industrial tech senior Vincent Peter is from Dominica said that international week makes him feel represented on campus. Peter says MSU was advertised on his island and he decided to join his friends when they decided to come to MSU.

Finance and business analytics sophomore Julian Meneses is from Ecuador and he said he loved the opportunity to play with students from other countries. Meneses said that he was a part of an education program that places students in colleges.
