Take a night off from your diet and come dine at OJC. "International Foods Night" is one of the most anticipated annual events at Otero Junior College.
International Food Night is sponsored by the OJC International Relations Organization and held every April in the OJC Student Center Banquet Room, the event offers food from around the world. The Rocky Mountain Chefs from Sodexho Campus Services prepare delectable dishes designed to tempt your taste buds. Food from countries represented in years past included Polynesia, Asia, Germany, France, Mexico and the Mediterranean.
The evening is divided into two sessions: the first session begins at 4:45 pm for OJC dorm students. All students with a 15 or 19 meal plan will be admitted free with their meal card. After a quick clearing of tables, the doors open to the public at 6:45 pm. Table hosts and hostesses for the evening are members of the OJC International Relations Organization and high school international exchange students from throughout the Arkansas Valley.
Entertainment for the evening includes performances by OJC students and faculty, as well as special guests – some from around the world! At the conclusion of the dinner, guests will have the opportunity to meet the Undergraduate Exchange students who have been attending Otero Junior College that year. A special presentation will be made to each of the community businesses who have provided internships for the students over the past year.
Due to the popularity of the event it is advisable to reserve your tickets early. The dinner is usually sold out well in advance. Tickets for International Foods Night can be reserved by calling Sallie Hibbs at 384-6826 or Debbie Phillips at 384-6863.
Proceeds from International Foods Night help to fund the International Student Scholarship Fund at OJC.
