The international student organization at Sinclair meets weekly to educate and discuss diversity among various cultures around the world\u2014 and it is open to all students.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe international students organization is a student organization for international and American students to get to know about other cultures and to give the international students on campus a club so they can interact and exchange ideas and exchange cultures and things like that,\u201d Club Vice President James Rawlins said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do that through communication. We have discussions. What we do first of all in meetings, we just do our business and then we have a discussion topic that myself and the president come up with. Sometimes we\u2019ll talk about cultural stereotype, cultural dress, food, the can\u2019s and cannot\u2019s in certain countries and that sort of thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The club meets in Building 8 Room 036 every Tuesday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., but they are considering adding another day. The club also hosts a movie night every third Tuesday of the month, where they will show a movie from a different country.<\/p>\n
Rawlins said every now and then, the club will also host an outing to different restaurants in the area. They are also planning future bake sales.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think my favorite part is expanding my mind and opening myself up to different people\u2026 I\u2019ve been involved since May 2012,\u201d Rawlins said.<\/p>\n
He said in order to be considered a member, students should \u201clike\u201d their Facebook page and attend meetings.<\/p>\n
\u201cOther students should join to experience diversity and to gain knowledge of other cultures by meeting people that actually are from those places, because that\u2019s the best way to do it other than going to those places and talking to those people that are from there and it\u2019s just something new to try and I encourage everyone to do it,\u201d Rawlins said.<\/p>\n
