Cultural Conversations

Tap into upcoming celebrations

Jan. 16, 2006 honors Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Jan. 29, 2006 is the beginning of the Chinese New Year
And Black History Month is coming up in February.

Chances are that there will be campus celebrations of some kind to honor one or all of these. Take this opportunity to talk with your student about what's happening on campus and what he or she is learning. What did he get out of the MLK Jr. speech given by a member of student government? What Black History Month activities is she planning to attend or is she helping to organize? And does he know what 2006 is according to the Chinese zodiac (it's the Year of the Dog)? Meaningful cultural conversations can begin simply by asking, "What's happening this month on campus?"
