The International Center sponsored a Mardi Gras Mask Making event on Feb. 20 (known as Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras Day or Shrove Day) in front of A-206.

The purpose, according to John Drezek of the International Center, was to “help students release stress, bring out their creative talents, and expose them to a cultural events they may not have heard of before.”

In New Orleans, the day is celebrated with festivities and parades.
