About Us

The purpose of FACES is to promote cultural diversity among students, faculty and staff. By educating people about different ethnic backgrounds, we cultivate minds and eliminate stereotypes. It serves its members as a medium of exchange in the study and treatment of subjects of mutual interest relating to the language, history, and background of many countries. Being informed about those who live with and around us, leads to a fulfilling and more pleasurable lie experience. Programs presented in the past have been Indiafest, Eurofest, a walk through Black history in American, Native American Code talkers.
