The Organization for Latino Studies/Spanish Club and Sigma Delta Pi, The Hispanic Honor Society, would like to invite the university community to an Aztec dance event at 3 p.m. on the lawn in front of McFarland Student Union. In case of rain, it will be held in the Untiy Room of the Multicultural Center. The dance troup is a Mexican family that has been performing authentic Aztec dances professionally for more than 30 years, and it should be a great way for everyone to relax and rejuvenate before finals! Thanks for your cooperation and participation.

The Non-Instructional Leadership Development Group (NILD) would like to invite you to the Gap Generation Workshop from 2-4 p.m. Tuesday, May 6 in Conference Room 322 of the McFarland Student Union Building. This workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Andrea Mitnick from the Speech Communication and Theatre Department.
“A generation gap according to many sources is a term used to describe wide differences in cultural norms between members of a younger generation and their elders. This can be defined as occurring "when older and younger people do not understand each other because of their different experiences, opinions, habits and behavior." Come and join us to celebrate with deeper understanding this "melting pot" of different kinds of people, fads, fashion, and politics, reflected in attitudes about each generation's interpretation on life.”
You may either e-mail your RSVP to Cavil Anderson at anderson@kutztown.edu, or call ext. 3-4872/4878 by Monday, May 5th.
