- Ethnic cuisines for lunch every day (thanks to FLIK Dining Services)
- Special sushi day with Japanese sushi chefs
- A cake celebrating Rome’s 2772nd birthday
- Piñata decorating game show (that was “televised” on the screen thanks to the student-run Eye of the Storm club)
- Interactive workshop to learn about Chinese tea
- “Fishing Gone In-Seine” quiz game
- Display of St. Luke’s Eiffel Tower (thanks to the designLab and Kimberly Gerardi for helping to build it)
- Latin-inspired game table and an interactive map booth
