International Expression: Calligraphy

Last Wednesday night, April 13, I attended International Expressions: Chinese Calligraphy. It was an awesome event. I had a fun time and met a lot of new people. During the event, we learned how to write Chinese characters that represented words such as sun, moon, mountain, love, roll tide, etc., and we were even able to use actual Chinese brushes, ink and paper to write the calligraphy. International Expressions is a great way to learn new things and meet new, great people. Be sure to attend future International Expressions events next fall!

Hot Topics: Culture Awareness

The Ferguson Center’s Hot Topics series focused on Cultural Awareness as the topic of discussion last Tuesday, April 12. This discussion was by far the most interesting to me! The event started of with the reading of a poem called "I am From" that left everyone feeling bewildered and intrigued. The poem illustrated how each of us is different but how we also may have a lot in common. During the discussion about cultural awareness, questions were posed and in-depth conversation began to unfold. Be sure to check out future Hot Topics events next semester!
