In order to introduce the campus to the cultures of these international students, we host several cultural events throughout the course of the year. The year usually starts with a picnic of Russian cuisine prepared by the faculty and students in order to bring our members back together and welcome new members. Frequent teahouses act as regular meetings where we discuss event ideas and work on planning them. Last year cultural celebrations were some of our most popular events. Later celebrations such as the Bulgarian National Holiday and Lenin's birthday meant more fun as well as more excellent cultural dishes prepared by our international students.
Cultural excursions are also a large part of our program.
In past years we have made such trips as Boston for a Chekhov play, Burlington for a gypsy music concert, and New York City's Brighton Beach to visit that area's large Russian population.
