¡Latino Festival!

The Latino Festival has been brought to Assumption College to encompass the Latino heritage. To give our students and faculty a vibe of Latino culture, which will hopefully enrich their perspectives and broaden the horizon of cultural competence. There will be a variety of Latino foods and cultural artifacts that anyone will be able to view and try. A Latino band will be performing live throughout the evening to indulge us in their spirit of music. Students who attend will also be entered in a raffle with over $100 worth of gift cards, as well as a few other prizes. We WELCOME all to attend and enjoy the evening with the ALANA Network, October 14th, 2010 Hagan Campus Center's Ball Room.

International Connection

The goal of the International Connection is to promote and enhance international awareness, cooperation, cultural diversity, and dialogue among international students and the rest of the Assumption College and local communities.

The group meets every week in the Hagan Campus Center - Downstairs in the Student Activities Room.

Passport to the World of Women

The Passport to the World of Women is a program developed by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Women's Studies Program. It is structured to expose students to different issues that women face around the world. Each student will be instructed to pick up their passport from the Multicultural Affairs or the Women's Studies department. There will be events in the fall and spring. A student is required to attend the events. At the end of the program a dinner will be given to celebrate and recognize women of distinction.
