Global Connections Hangouts

When: Wednesdays 12:00-12:50pm

Where: LBCC T-119 & ELCI (on West Way near the tennis courts) 

Location varies

The first meeting of this year’s Global Connections Hangouts club was held in Takena 119 on Wednesday, October 16th. The students join in groups to chat and play games after enjoying lunch together.

In the Global Connections Hangouts club, you have the opportunity to meet LBCC students from around the world with unique cultural backgrounds, learn about other cultures, play games, and make new friends in a fun and welcoming environment! Lunch is provided, usually different ethnic cuisines each week. The club has had Vietnamese sandwiches, Indian food, and more. For their next meeting they plan on having Middle Eastern food. The club proves that LBCC is truly enriched by cultural diversity.

On November 20th at noon in Forum 104, the hangout will be having a big performance. “We didn’t have a good turn out the last two years. This year we’re actually trying to do events where we go to the campus community. We paid a lot of money for this performance. It’s called They Call Me Q. It’s a one person comedy skit about identity, and it has really great reviews. It’s going to be performed on a Wednesday instead of our hangouts. Hopefully we’ll have teachers that will encourage their students to come,” says Kim Sullivan, the International Student Advisor who organizes the club.
