In light-of International Education Week, Santa Monica
College celebrated international diversity among its students during its 11th
annual Global Citizenship Day Festival, where an allure of free food, music,
and games unified campus culture. For the past eleven years Santa Monica
College has enthusiastically encouraged students to celebrate in this
illustrious event to promote global citizenship amongst the campus community.
The
day of festivities, in particular, has helped to bring the broad spectrum of
cultural differences and similarities into perspective, as SMC’s international community
(which includes more than 3,000 students representing more than 100 different
nations worldwide) educated and entertained the campus community through
various activities.
Throughout
the day, students representing countries such as Japan and Mexico presented
cultural dances that brought awe and attention to those who watched and
admired from aside. Clubs such as The International Folk Dance club, as
well as Kaspisananf Pilipino also awed and amazed crowds with wonderful food,
music and fun games, which were both entertaining and culturally insightful.
In addition to this, many efforts have continued to be made by various campus departments, including The International Business Department and The Humanities Department, to help continue to solidify a global community for the years to come. With the offering of several different study abroad opportunities, and a variety of lectures, courses, and educational events, Santa Monica College will in no doubt remain united and culturally infused in a world of global citizenship.
