Bringing Students together is an important aspect of Chaplaincy. On the first Tuesday of the month the chaplain gathers with 10 to 15 students in the community kitchen of residence to cook and share a meal. Each month a different ethnic cuisine is featured. Canadian, Indian, Mexican, and Jamaican nights are past, and next semester we look forward to Sri Lankan, Korean, Afghani and TBD. Other events such as our Welcome to Winter party and End of Term party brought students together around food and fun.
Small group huddles (soon to be rebranded Life Groups) were introduced at the New Student Orientation event. Small groups of students, half international and half domestic, came together every other week for a time of food and fellowship. Support, encouragement, and cross-cultural awareness flow from the groups.
