When you think of college in the U.S., you might picture classes, dorm life, and maybe a few football games. But at California State University, Chico, international student life means so much more—including an epic prom night you’ll never forget. 

The Global Student Society (GSS) recently hosted its International Prom 2025, bringing together students from all over the world to celebrate friendship, culture, and connection—with music, dancing, and unforgettable energy.
