USA International Dinner Night!

This week, Collège du Léman is celebrating the spirit—and the flavors—of the United States with a special International Dinner dedicated to all things American!

From classic burgers and mac & cheese to sweet treats like brownies and apple pie, our dining hall is transformed into a delicious tribute to the USA. It’s more than just food—it’s a chance for our international community to come together, share stories, and experience a taste of American culture.

We’re proud to celebrate diversity through cuisine, and this dinner is another reminder of how food brings us all closer.

Bon appétit and happy USA night! 🇺🇸✨
