Verbal Pollution was a great success!

 

Yesterday's Verbal Pollution was small and intimate which led to great conversation! The words that we use were examined closely and analyzed in a group setting. This event is definitely a keeper. Keep an eye out for it in future years. 

 

 

Verbal Pollution

The Grind

11/28/12

5:00pm

 

 

 

 

Come join us in the Grind at 5:00pm for a discussion on the words we use. We will explore the connotations and history behind the words that we use and how they affect society. What do the words that we say really mean? Do you contribute to Verbal Pollution?

 

Telling HerStory

 

Come join OIA and RHA on tuesday November 13th in the Grind for Telling HerStory. Our three special guests will be discussing the cultural implications of being a black woman in America and the diversity between them.

Noche Latina

 



Tilton was packed last friday night with people attending Noche Latina. The performances by members of the Clark community and members of the Worcester community were received very well by our guests. There was music, dancing, singing, and as always lots of food to celebrate Latin culture. Overall this was a wonderful night that we hope to do again next year.     

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

 

Our annual event Noche Latina is coming up just one week from tomorrow!

 

 

It will be held in Tilton Hall on friday 10/26 and will celebrate Latin American History Month.

SOUL PANCAKE

Sept. 27th, 2012

Maywood Hall Lounge

 

 

 

 

 

Professor Melissa Butler joined us for a riveting discussion about religion and spirituality. Many religious groups on campus were represented as well as those who don't identify with any particular religion. We discussed religion's purpose, it's place in society, and it's place in our lives.  All while eating delicious pancakes! All in all it was a very successful event that we hope to carry on in the future. Make sure to stay updated on our future events! This one may make a reappearance!
