It is an opportunity for international student groups to welcome new incoming international students and scholars. The new students and scholars come out for an evening of food and fun and they mingle with other new students/scholars as well as those currently enrolled. o
2. Africa Week: This is the most crucial event of the year. This year was difficult. We only had 3 days! And even with that, a lot of our members did not show up for the events. We did Taste of Africa: Ghana, as the day fell of their independence. I invite KC Morrison’s class, that had just came from Ghana to come speak. We didn’t have a lot of help so Doris and I cooked all the food. But we were able to invite the Lincoln chapter to come down and they come to support us (add pictures and news coverage)

While there, they also volunteered with the Boys and Girls Club and help children with their homework.
