NSU’s Shark Fountain transformed into a foodie’s paradise on Nov. 14 for this year’s Shark Bites International Food Festival. The festival is one of the many Homecoming festivities held on campus. Student-run businesses and off-campus eateries gathered for a celebration of international cultures and their many culinary contributions.
“There are a lot of things that go on in the world. One thing that brings us together is food. A lot of people are here to celebrate Homecoming and bleed shark blue,” said Ritchy Laguerre, second-year graduate assistant for the Office of Campus Life and Student Engagement.
Students had several options to choose from. Tropical Oasis Express and Carrabba’s Italian Grill made an appearance, while student-run stands like La Creperia represented for NSU’s Huizenga Student Businesses.
“I usually go to Oasis’ food trucks; they have good food. I love to eat from there,” said Chancey Cherry, senior neuroscience major and senior Homecoming king candidate.
Cherry understands how important events like these are for fostering community.
“Normally you don’t see a lot of commuters connecting with campus. I used to be an RA, and I always notice when they have events like this; it brings the community together,” Cherry said.
