Diversity in Hays will be celebrated at Locally Global, a cultural festival hosted by Fort Hays State University’s Issues and Applications in Communication class and the International Student Union, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, March 28, in the Memorial Union’s Fort Hays Ballroom. This free cultural celebration is open to all community members.
Locally Global will deepen the connections between international students and the local community.
