Culture Shock Initiative

Many Connect 4 members and student leaders attended the Office of Student Activities' Redefining Community Experience Retreat this past weekend, and boy, did we have a blast!

One of the awesome initiatives that emerged from RCE was Culture Shock, an initiative started by Hana Schuster that aims to

expose students to various cultures by attending one culture group event each week, and will create an open, welcoming, and more diverse campus environment. It will offer students opportunities to experience cultures they wouldn't normally be exposed to, and will create student ties and relationships between various groups, in hopes of promoting a more open and understanding student body.

Because this group's purpose relates so closely to Connect 4's mission to connect people and generate awareness of identity and culture, Culture Shock leaders will be attending the first Connect 4 meeting to share this idea. As well, it will be great to unite with them to attend the upcoming LNYF and Black Anthology shows. Post thoughts, opinions, and ideas.
