UW is full of unique and interesting talents; throughout the year, on-campus organizations spotlight them with UW’s Got Talent and UW Idol. This Saturday, international students will take center stage.
The International Student Association (ISA) will host the International Talent Contest Saturday from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the Arts and Sciences Auditorium. It will include ten different performers from both solo and group contestants and guest performers.
“This is the fourth year ISA is hosting the talent show. Every year it is getting bigger and more popular. The idea of the contest is to provide the stage to the students to display their talents. The competition ensures better performances as prizes are involved,” Vagaban Subedi, ISA events coordinator, said.
