MSUB’s Office of International Studies is hosting its 5th annual Global Studies Seminar: Themed Semester
this fall and will be hosting weekly events for FREE from September through November to showcase South
America's northern and central Andean Region, also known as the Andean Community, featuring Peru,
Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, & Venezuela. See the full schedule of events at

Experience Peru through the eyes of MSUB’s student group that spent two weeks in May 2025 studying
Spanish and Peruvian culture in Cusco. Visitors will be able to peruse some of the most impressive sites of
the former Incan capital and region, shots that were taken through the lenses of program participants. The
exhibit will also showcase authentic artifacts from throughout Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia.
Artifacts on display will include a traditional festival outfit used in Bolivia’s Dance of the Devils (La
Diablada), which is a prominent part of the Carnaval de Oruro, hand woven tapestries and musical
instruments seen throughout the Andean region, antique brass stirrup boot covers from Colombia, and
more.
An art reception will take place at 5pm in the 1st floor Lobby of Liberal Arts Building on Oct. 2. We will have
an exhibition talk at around 5:30pm. Light refreshments will be served.
The exhibit will be on display from
Oct. 2 to Oct. 31, 2025
