This picture was taken from one of our Breather Series called "Paint Your Story". Hardeep Jandu, Programming Intern 2010, coordinated this program in preparation for the Cross-Cultural Center's 15th year anniversary. Community painted their identities onto a canvas mural. It provided a time for reflection and connection with others.
Come to "The U in Community" program Week 8, Tuesday, 4-5:30pm. This program will provide a space for you to reflect on your passions and identities while being in community with others.
