  • This series aims to bring light to a variety of holidays that are celebrated around the world, and how these holidays are significant in the lives of the people that celebrate them, both on campus and internationally. These programs include a combination of an interactive activity (can be artistic, food-related, etc.) and an educational portion, which should be presented by groups or individuals that celebrate or research these holidays/festivals.

    Collaborations may include having a presentation on a certain festival of your country/culture. Benefits would include attracting more interested members to your organization, as well as expanding your collaboration efforts with Union organizations.

    Collaborations may include contributing to menu decisions, and making and presenting a presentation that touched on the recipes and history of the food and the country/culture. Benefits would include attracting more interested members to your organization, as well as expanding your collaboration efforts with Union organizations.

  • Events in this series focus on social movements in a specific culture, and especially movements that are not discussed much on campus. Events are intended to be a combination of a lecture and a workshop. One must find creative ways to involve the audience.

    Collaborations may include presenting on a social issue topic on a certain country/culture (or worldwide) or facilitating the conversation. Benefits would include attracting more interested members to your organization, as well as expanding your collaboration efforts with Union organizations.
