Wehinmi Kanyi said he’s thankful that MSU’s International Services hosts events for students to get a taste of several different holiday traditions.

“Here, you do a lot of gift-giving. It’s not something that I’m used to, but it’s not bad. You know, you’re still spending time with family. It’s kind of like a home away from home. We all just try to get together, host events, cook traditional foods,” Kanyi said.
