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.

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.
Price said ISA expects this
