Your guide to celebrating November 17 2022
Skip to all 20 daysA shared table can make an unfamiliar place feel friendlier, especially when someone has brought something warm from the oven. On November 17, use International Students’ Day as a reason to gather classmates around one. Ask your campus group to pair the gathering with a student cause or volunteer effort, and make time to check in with anyone carrying a heavy study load or missing home.
The table needs a centerpiece you can tear into, which is where National Homemade Bread Day earns its place. Bake a loaf at home, use a bread maker for the straightforward route, or put a sourdough starter to work. Set it out whole and slice it as people arrive. A slightly lopsided loaf still smells wonderful, and nobody at a hungry student gathering is grading the crust.

Invest in a bread maker or source a sourdough starter on Homemade Bread Day and bake delicious dough at home to meet all your flour and yeast “kneads”.

For something sweet, add National Baklava Day to the table. Share pieces with crisp pastry layers and a nutty crunch, the sort of dessert that encourages people to stay for another conversation. You can make it yourself or bring some to pass around. Either way, flaky crumbs are a small price to pay.
National Baklava Day
Crispy layers of pastry, oozing sweetness, and nuts giving a satisfying crunch — a mouthwatering symphony that leaves taste buds dancing.
If you know an international student who could use a more personal welcome, pack a few treats from their home country into a small hamper. Add notes from friends or family when appropriate. Between the messages, fresh bread and baklava, you will have something much better than a formal reception: a table where people can settle in and feel looked after.
