Cross-Cultural Night, "Hall of Nations" Dedication
 Hocking College Cross-Cultural Night will be held at the Student Center Multiplex on February 2, 2011 from 6 - 9 p.m., along with a dedication of the "Hall of Nations," to mark the anniversary of the "We Are One Hocking" initiative to celebrate diversity.
All members of the community are invited to attend the second annual Cross-Cultural Night. Throughout the evening, Hocking international students will host displays, offer fine international cuisine, music, dancing and other entertainment representing their culture. The international students are from areas such as Senegal, Jamaica, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Gambia, China, Syria and Sri-Lanka.
Additionally, President Erickson, will dedicate the Student Center lobby as the "Hall of Nations." The new Hall of Nations will display flags from around the world above the walkway, adding to the peace poles installed last year that offer messages of peace in eight languages. Throughout the year, art depicting multi-cultural scenery will be added to the Hall of Nations, highlighting topics such as Black History Month and Holocaust Remembrance.
"Cross-Cultural Night and the dedication of the new "Hall of Nations" is yet another way for the Hocking community to embrace and share our differences, while reinforcing that we are truly One Hocking," Giles Lee, Director of Co-Curricular Education, said.
The "We Are One Hocking" initiative is an ongoing campaign of the Hocking College Diversity Council. The "One Hocking" initiative reinforces the emphasis on celebrating differences and providing a campus where all students are afforded a safe learning environment.
