TALK: Taking Action to Learn about "Kulture"
Want to talk about Culture?
Join a group of U.S. and international students, and meet once a week
during the semester to explore issues relating to culture. Facilitated discussions
give students the opportunity to get to know one another, share their own
cultures, and discuss and appreciate dynamics of difference among them.
This is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in cross-cultural issues, intercultural awareness, or just getting to know a more diverse group of students on campus. Discussions are informal, with a different topic each week, no reading or assignments -- just show up each week ready to talk! All U.S. and international students (undergraduate and graduate) are invited to participate!
We meet each week for 8 weeks, starting the week of February 9.
There will be two different TALK groups meeting during the spring 2009 semester.
* Tuesday evenings from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
* Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m.
