EXPLORING ETHNIC NEIGHBORHOODS

In order to enhance our exposure to the multicultural flavor of NYC, the Office of Multicultural Affairs and College Activities are sponsoring a series of trips to ethnic enclaves around the city.

The first two will be on April 12 to Crown Heights' Hasidic and Black (African American and Caribbean) neighborhood, and on April 26 to Jackson Heights' South Asian neighborhood.

April 12, 9am-2pm: In Crown Heights we will take a guided tour (by the Hasidic Discovery Center), visit the Crown Heights Youth Collective, and have lunch at a neighborhood restaurant.

April 26, 9am-2pm: In the Jackson Heights trip we will visit a Hindu Temple, walk through and shop on 74th Street and Roosevelt Avenue, and eat at a neighborhood restaurant.

The Office of Multicultural Affairs And College Activities will pay for transportation, lunch and tour fees. We can only take 15 students on each trip, and those students will be selected on first come first serve basis. You can sign up in the Office of Multicultural Affairs, 210 McIntosh, on or after March 24, 2002.
