During this week, SA[u]CE has hosted a number of events including: Study Abroad Mixer, Bomba Dance Workshop, and International Field Day. Our meal plans accommodate all dietary needs, including halal, kosher, vegan and vegetarian diets. In the residence halls, students who join New College’s Global Village Living Learning Community (LLC) share a desire to learn more about international travel and culture, and how nations and peoples are connected socially, politically and economically. Through cultural programming, guest speakers and internationally-themed meals, we encourage students to share their cultural experiences and differences as a way to strengthen relationships, deepen appreciation for diversity and broaden the educational experience.
