IMC INTERNATIONAL PARTIO 2005

The International Management Club held the first annual International Partio at the Jones School.  After much hype, the best student-run event exceeded expectations drawing the entire student population to come and sample international foods ranging from Ethiopian to Korean.  The Partio also included several entertainment performances from belly dancers from the Sirrom Dance School of Dance to lion dancing from the Chinese Community Culture Center in Houston. 

The evening began with a festival of culinary delights from across the globe with exotics drinks from Peru to down-home Country Fried Chicken from Tennessee to Taiwanese tapioca drinks from Teahouse. In our food judging contest, our celebrity guest judges, Professor James Weston, Gale Wiley, Paul Dholakia and Beth O'Sullivan had the difficult decision on voting for the best represented region.  After a long deliberation, they awarded the prize to the Caribbean and African team!  

Following the trophy presentation, the judges also awarded prizes to the best dressed males and best dressed females: winners, Jacob Varghese, Subhi Khudairi, Meera Naehr, and Nkechi Ikenga showed Jones Schoolers how fashionable their culture can be.  The Indian region also impressed the student body with their colorful and elaborate attire.  

The International Management Club would like to thank our generous sponsors Sirrom School of Dance, Teahouse, and MetroBank, for making this wonderful event happen.
