ISA event continued from page 1A The three leaders will be sign ing a map, which ties into the theme of both International Week and the grand finale of the week, International Night. ISA co-direc tor Alberto Albuquerque said the map signing is a pledge to be aware of internationalism. Co-director of International Week Joyce Mmari said the signif icance of the theme, “Pangea: When The Continents Were One,” comes from the geographical view when the continents of the world were a single land mass surround ed by ocean before they divided. She said the cultural week com municates how students will be one together again. By putting on this celebration, the ISA has created a major inter national event for the University. Mills said he hopes from this event, students will gain a “greater recognition of diversity on our campus and how this re flects diversity in this world.” Each day will focus on a differ ent part of the world. There will be a panel each day titled “What’s unique about your country.” Co-* director of International Week and member of the European Stu dent Association Amanda Burr said different student representa tives from various regions of each country will be talking about what is unique about their coun try, in the recently reopened Inter national Student Lounge, located above the post office in the EMU. “Students will be able to ask the people on the panel what they like about their country,” Burr said. The first day of International Week is dedicated to Africa. (( We are working to ac commodate the desires of all students and certainly want to encourage every one to participate. Amanda Burr European Student Association member j J Included in Africa day, history professor Laura Fair will be pre senting a film produced and di rected by Amadou Seek called “Saaraba.” Rita Honka, a dance instructor at the University will be teaching students African dances for a $2 entrance fee. “What is really interesting in my view, for example, in Africa, is that so many people consider Africa just a country. They don’t understand that there are so many different cultures within Africa,” ISA communications coordinator Monica Price said. Tuesday will feature food sam pling of dishes such as edamame or fried noodles, a panel discus sion and an Asian exhibition for Asia and Oceania.
