Film Screening of The King Speech

The King's Speech 

The story of King George VI of Britain, his impromptu ascension to the throne and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch become worthy of it. 

Starring Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter 

Showing : April 9th , Saturday , Jefferson 218 , 7:30 PM 

A collaboration between Speaker's Forum and Office of Intercultural Affairs. The event is being put on as one of our annual Disability Awareness programs; to highlight issues of disabilities and encourage awareness and understanding.

In the film, the lead character has an extremely strong speech impediment, which his peers and family consider an unfavorable characteristic for a perspective king. However, as the story tells, he is able to find his own voice and bravely lead his country. Many people suffer from various speech disorders or impediments, which often have negative social effects and can lead to bullying and low self-esteem. Hopefully, through this powerful movie we can portray the struggles of someone facing such difficulties and being able to overcome them triumphantly

The Screening of the arguably the best movie of the year. The King's Speech is an inspiring story that will have you captivated from start to finish. Nothing short of outstanding

Intercultural Dating Event - Coming Soon ...

OIA is preparing for one of its last events of the academic year , and this one is entitled Intercultural Dating.


This is the first time that our office will be holding this event. 

What the event hopes to address is all those issues and topics, good and bad , surrounding Intercultural Dating.

~ Do you sometimes feel that your out of the loop when it comes to cross-cultural dating? ~ Or have you had a great and fun experience that you would like to share? ~ Has it been difficult to approach someone you have liked for way too long, but you don't know what to say because you haven't been raised with the same background? ~ Would you want to learn those intricate signals and cues of another culture?

This is the event for those questions !

Coming the 3rd week of April

Her words made a significant impact that day. She spoke on many things such as Black History Month and Clark's theme, to commemorate the month, The Evolution of Blackness. She encouraged us to start thinking of Black history as our collective history. Giving her own tales of her youth and ancestry, she thoroughly entertained and captivated her audience. Other topics she touched on were the importance of education, internal US party politics, and foreign policy. 

If you haven't heard Ms Brazile speak, you should! Not many political figures can relate to her audience and make you feel a part of the conversation. Ms. Brazile is definitely a wise woman, with even wiser words.
