Calling all UW international graduate students and their families—whether you have a spouse, children, or both, you’re warmly invited to a festive Thanksgiving celebration hosted by CIRCLE. 
Take a break from the busy graduate life and enjoy a cozy afternoon filled with seasonal crafts, tasty treats, and meaningful connection. Craft hand-made souvenirs, meet other international families, and share in the spirit of gratitude together. To add a special international touch to the celebration, you’re invited to bring a dish from your culture to share. This is optional but warmly encouraged! 
Whether you’re new to Thanksgiving or simply looking for a joyful way to celebrate, join us for a family-friendly day of creativity, community, and warmth. 
Sponsored by the Center for International Relations & Cultural Leadership Exchange (CIRCLE). Send questions to Ziyan Bai, CIRCLE Assistant Director of Graduate Programs & Operations at baiziyan@uw.edu.
