Join the International Student and Scholar Office for an enchanting evening of food, music, and fashion at “Global Glam: An Evening of Fashion, Diversity and Community.”

This first-time event will feature international and domestic students modeling traditional clothing from various world regions, designs created by students from the Textiles, Merchandising & Fashion Design Department and selected garments and accessories from participating independent retailers in the Lincoln community.

"One of our goals for the evening is to create an atmosphere that highlights and celebrates some of the rich diversity we have in our UNL and Lincoln communities," International Student Success Navigators Natalie Baskin said.

Global Glam will be held Sat. March 26 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Wick Alumni Center.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Fashion show begins from 7 to 9 p.m. Patrons are kindly asked to end their evening by 10 p.m.

Cost: Tickets are $15 for UNL students, $20 for UNL staff and faculty, and $25 for Lincoln community members. Some of the proceeds will be donated to local nonprofit ECHO Collective at https://www.therefinerylnk.com/. One free raffle ticket is included with every ticket purchase. Tickets are non-refundable.

Attire: Semi-formal attire is highly encouraged. Attendees are welcome to traditional clothing that represents their culture and heritage or a favorite country from their travels.
