Join us for Beyond the Plate with Chef Lavinia, owner of Gourmet Soul, as we share a meal and engage in meaningful conversations around experiences and identities. We invite all students to explore and celebrate different cultures while building connections across differences—RSVP coming soon!

Sample Behaviors

Program Goals: Cross-Cultural Connections designed Beyond the Plate to be an interactive experience where students can seek global cross-cultural interactions and experiences that enhance one’s understanding of people from different demographic groups and that leads to personal growth. Students’ ability to utilize different methods to learn about new cultures is important in fostering

respect to a diverse array of learning styles, varied individual communication abilities, and cultural differences.
