More than 75 students, staff and faculty enjoyed international cuisine Friday during Supportive Educational Services' international potluck and open house.
Renee Williams-Reeb, support services coordinator, said the potluck was held to show the center's resources to students.
"The reason we did this with food is because that's always a nice way to get students to come in," she said. "It's also a nice way to invite other offices on campus."
The center provides tutoring and other academic assistance for students. To qualify, students must be the first in their families to seek a degree at a four-year
institution, meet federally defined low-income status or have a documented disability. The center is sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and can be found in Room 7 in Strong Hall.
Williams-Reeb said about 25 students, faculty and staff prepared traditional dishes from different regions and countries around the world.
Dishes included baked ham from the southern United States, Malaysian-style chicken and tofu, a tortilla dish called Arepas and a spicy chicken dish from India.
Maritza Machado-Williams, SES director, said she hoped the open house would create an atmosphere for students, tutors

ification classes to workbooks that help students prepare for graduate school.
During the potluck, 20 students and tutors enjoyed food while working in the tutoring room, which is across the hall from SES.
"It's always busy here," Machado-Williams said. "We encourage students to come in here, even if it's to take a break, instead of going home and not coming back."
The tutoring room features 10 study tables, computers, and math and English help rooms where teaching assistants can tutor students in material from Math 002 and 101 and English 101 and 102.
Rufus Coleman, Dallas senior, attended the open house and said the program had helped him succeed in college.
"When I graduate, it will be because of this office," he said. "When I came here as a freshman, I didn't know how a university worked. The people here helped to offer me guidance and keep me in college."
