Dear friends, <br><br>African Cultural Week kicks off on Monday at 11:30am outside Baker 4th floor. We'll be tabling from 11:30 - 2pm advertising many of the African related programs, activities and educational opportunities available at OU including the African Languages program, FLAS funding, ASA, STAND, African Studies and AZA. If you have any other opportunities that you would like to advertise, please stop by Baker on Monday at 11:30. Bring posters and materials to hand out and hang up. We are permitted to sing, dance, drum and/or play music. If you're interested in performing, let me know. Feel free to stop by and hang out, the more the merrier!<br>
<br>Monday night, we'll meet in Gordy 110 for the Opening Lecture chaired by Dr. Nick Creary at 6pm. This year's theme is "From National Peace-Building to Progressive Democratic Change in Africa: The Role of Women". <br>
<br>Look forward to seeing you all!<br><br>Best, <br>Christine J. Pirot<br>ASU Event Coordinator<br><br><br><br>
