The Ethnic Cultures floor will seek to promote the understanding of ethnic diversity in American culture. Both on and off campus, we will educate ourselves and our community through the celebration and exploration of our widely diverse cultural identities. Floor sponsored activities and outreach include forums and discussions on issues facing ethnic minorities, a focus on leadership in a multicultural society, attendance of campus and community performances and lectures, and regularly scheduled dinners, movies and dances focusing on a particular minority's culture. We believe in the creativity of personal and artistic expression. We may individually prefer writing, painting, drawing, dancing, music playing, singing, acting, or sculpture but as a community we embrace all forms of artistic expression even if they are new and uncharted territory.
Art is a challenge to the human mind and a gift to the human soul.
Through art, we think, we feel, and we grow. Art is not static and cannot be bound to the conventions of a basic definition. Rather art is growing and changing all the time. We do not believe art only imitates life, but that ideally, life may also imitate art. Art is more than an object, it is an interaction and a moment kept in eternity.
