Auburn University Outreach Global office would like to express its sincere appreciation to all participants who contributed and supported the premier Global Community Day Festival which took place at the Jule Collins Smith Museum, or JCSM, of Fine Arts, Auburn University, and the Opelika Amphitheater at the City of Opelika on April 8, 2022. It was a great experience collaborating with our campus and local community members during the pilot Global Community Day Festival events.

Your participation made our events: Arts & crafts, dancing, parade of the flags/continents, global attire showcase, “Taste of the World," trade fair and the MUSTB K-Pop concert successful. These activities would not have been effective without your participation and support, we are truly grateful for the commitment and dedication of our partners and volunteers.

Special thank you to all our sponsors: Auburn University Outreach Global, University Outreach, Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, Auburn University Korea Corner, City of Opelika, Mando, Korea Foundation USA, Publix, Spicer’s Music, NFBPA and the City of Auburn.

Our sincere gratitude goes to the Auburn University Office of International Programs for coordinating the global attire showcase, College of Nursing for providing medical assistance during both events, Mobile International Festival Executive Director for the support, Outreach students’ ambassadors, all the community volunteers: Alpha Kappa Alpha Inc. Mu Sigma Chapter, Hannah Cimarron, vendors and all the presenters for making our pilot festival memorable.

Auburn University Outreach Global office believes that festival like this unite us and make us a strong community. We hope Auburn University campus community and our off-campus partners will join us again for the next year’s festival.
