Grains of Solidarity
will be a night to enjoy a variety of rice dishes provided by Black Student Alliance, Lambda Theta Alpha, and Asian Pacific American Awareness Coalition. We have come to an understanding that each population, each culture has their own way of preparing a rice dish, so this is just a simple but meaningful way to simultaneously acknowledge the similarities and differences we all have. We also invite your respective organization to bring your own dish to share with the community. The goal of this night is to refuel the community among students and ignite thoughtful discussions on our similarities and differences.
