College to Host International Festival Dec. 2
Posted on Tuesday, November 24, 2009
Westminster College's Office of Diversity Services and Peace Studies Program will sponsor the fifth annual International Festival Wednesday, Dec. 2, 5-8 p.m. in the Berlin Lounge of the McKelvey Campus Center.
The campus event is a celebration of diversity and cultures of the world, as well as the diversity of the Westminster community. Westminster community members will bring dishes representing their ethnic heritage and have opportunities to experience other cultures through information tables and entertainment.
A new event this year will be decorating the international community tree. Craft supplies will be available to make an ornament representing ethnic backgrounds or family holiday traditions.
The planning committee includes Jeannette Hubbard, director of the Office of Diversity Services; Dr. Sherri Pataki, Westminster assistant professor of psychology and coordinator of the Peace Studies program; Doreen Matune, secretary to the Office of Off-Campus Study; the Black Student Union; the Campus Programming Committee; the International Cultures Club; and the Student Government Association Diversity Committee.
