The 60 international visitors toured Pitt’s Nationality Rooms on July 16 and participated in a reception that featured an international cookie table. The group’s children, whose sponsors asked that they not be identified, represented Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Norway, and the Philippines. Bruhns is director of the Nationality Rooms and of Pitt’s Intercultural Exchange Program.
