Changes In Culture Black Student Union, Foreign Exchange and International Clubs Bring Students Together. Black Student Union, Foreign Ex- change and International clubs combined knowledge of cultures with the enjoyment of parties and the association of friends. Al of the clubs helped individuals understand the different aspects of their culture. Black Student Union members raised funds to produce a program on black his- tory over cable channel twenty- two. Foreign Exchange students shared knowledge of their home country with students here at school. In the International Club students joined together to help students from other countries feel more at home. Fund raisers were used as a tool to help students reach goals in ac- tivities, including a hayride to Old MacDonald's farm and dinner at different ethnic restaurants once a month. In addition to these activities, weekly guest speakers or club members presented programs to help increase knowledge of differ- ent cultures. These organizations helped stu- dents of similar backgrounds come together, share- exper- iences, and at the same time, learn and understand other cul- tures. Design by Kirsten Bednorz.
