In spring 1015 I had the privilege of working with two amazing librarians from UMKC’s Miller Nichols Library Fu Zhuo and Susan Sanders. Together we organized the first International Students Days in the Library to celebrate the diversity of our students through the participation and the promotion of diverse cultural and entertainment activities one country at a time. For this edition we chose to celebrate our Indian students.
With the help of the UMKC’s Indian Students Association we put together a rich program to celebrate the diversity and the individuality of India. The program featured guest lectures, entertainment and movie along with Mehndi tattoo, books and DVDs displays and Indian refreshment. On April 17, 2015, over 75 participants gathered at the iX Theater of MNL to celebrate India and the UMKC’s Indian students.
