What a wonderful Saturday at the 34th Annual TCIS International Festival!

With beautiful weather and a campus full of energy, families, students, alumni, and many from the Daejeon community came together to celebrate an afternoon of culture, connection, and fun. From delicious food and live music to games, contests, prizes, and the flea market, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The celebration continued all the way through the evening fireworks. 

More than just an event, International Festival is a reflection of the vibrant and diverse community that makes TCIS so special. It was wonderful to see people of all ages laughing together, making memories, and enjoying time with one another on our campus.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, performed, organized, and supported this year’s festival. We are so grateful for this community and the joyful spirit that filled the day from beginning to end.
