On Tuesday, February 10, more than 60 U-M students and scholars gathered on the 10th floor of Weiser Hall to celebrate “Fat Tuesday.”  Participants enjoyed Pączki and pizza, played  interactive games, and unleashed their creativity decorating their own Mardi Gras masks. Attendees said the event was a great opportunity to meet new friends and learn about Mardi Gras’s history and traditions.


ELI Student-to-Student events are designed and led by ELI’s student staff to foster a sense of community among international students and scholars and provide a relaxing break from studying, teaching, and research.
