    The Intensive English Program held its 28th Annual International Thanksgiving Celebration on Friday, November 18. Students from more than 20 countries joined in a Thanksgiving celebration at Allen Hall on the Coral Gables campus as the IEP weaved international customs into America’s traditional holiday. Students represented their native lands by wearing traditional dress, sharing food distinct to their culture, and by providing an array of multicultural entertainment. Flags, photos, and artifacts represented Middle Eastern, Latin American, and Asian countries, among others.

    The Intensive English Program has been an integral part of the UM community since 1951. Through the program, students are introduced to American culture and customs while simultaneously interacting with students from around the world. The main goal is to create a feeling of home in American culture.
