The IUS community traveled abroad and experienced international lifestyles by visiting the Hoosier Room during the annual Wares of the World event. Hosted by the International Program, the event took place on Oct. 10 and 11 and featured an array of fair trade items from across the world, including jewelry from Peru, purses from Guatemala and scarves from Nepal. The items were provided by Ten Thousand Villages, a fair trade retailer that creates a market for artisan products to be sold.

The Hoosier Room was filled with the sound of music and cultural crafts on Oct. 24 and 25 to mark the sixth annual Wares of the World event. The Wares of the World was hosted by the International Programs and featured handmade jewelry, personal accessories, home décor, art and sculptures. These items were handcrafted to reflect the cultures of Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.
