Cultural Appreciation Week Brings a Taste of Diversity to Coe Cainpus
The Diversity and Inclusion (DI) Collaboration organized multiple events during the past week as a part of its cultural appreciation week celebration. These were organized in an effort to offer Kohawks an opportunity to experience and learn about new cultures from across the globe.
The DI Collaboration is a inter-club group consisting five different student organizations that includes the International Club,
LatinX, Black Self Education Organization (BSEO), Multi-Cultural Fusion and the Asian American Club. It has been a tradition of these student organizations in the DI Collaboration to have this inter- club event in Spring Semester for the past three years.
As a part of the Cultural Appreciation Week for 2019, the Coe College international Club organized 'Language Night' on Monday evening at the Intercultural Centre where Kohawks could learn the basics of different languages from students coming from
different parts of the world.
"Coe has a very diverse international community and often times when people get into their classes they don't realize they
are learning alongside people who adhere from a entirely different culture, speak a different language and come from a very different place," stated Abhinav Shrestha
