5 Spiritual Life & Campus Diversity Fiesta Hispana Erica Sigauke, director of spiritual life and campus diversity, accompanied students to Kansas City to celebrate the Fiesta Hispana event at Barney Allis Plaza on Saturday, September 12. This family event included special activities for children and adults, many Hispanic artifacts for sale, and the celebration of 29 years of showcasing delicious authentic Hispanic food, music, and dances. In addition to the celebration, the Board President for the Greater Kansas City Hispanic Heritage Committee, David Tinoco, spoke about promoting education and also encouraged the Hispanic youth to explore their gifts while having a successful college experience. Our students gained quite lot through this participation. They had experience interacting with various people as well as some of the dancers. Haskell Indian Art Market Rev. Sigauke organized a trip to the Haskell Indian Art Market in Lawrence, Kansas, on Sunday, September 13. This was an educational diversity and interfaith trip that helped our students learn about other cultures as well as to respect and value individual differences. She took students to the market who enjoyed exploring new knowledge and appreciating some of the Native American art and various cultural events such as the Pow-Wow dance. The Market is an annual event held during the second weekend in September each year. This art market attracts hundreds of visitors each year. The market also provides an economic opportunity for Native American artists, as well as encouraging cross-cultural understanding and exchange. Some students had an opportunity to participate in the dances and to taste some of the delicious Native American food such as the fry bread and several other dishes. The trip was an eye opener to our students. Nevada Heartland Rev. Sigauke took a group of students to Heartland Behavioral Health Services in Nevada on Friday, September 4, to teach drumming to some of the youth. This hands-on activity was very exciting and engaging. There was a lot of culture sharing and social interaction while having fun. Sigauke is collaborating with the Heartland community in community outreach programs. This is a great opportunity for our students to participate in and help lead some meditation sessions at Heartland. This program is going to provide great opportunities for our spirituality, diversity, and Interfaith programs. Students will explore some of their gifts while sharing their various cultures with the Heartland community. Some students will be involved in leadership opportunities, planning, organizing, exploring their creative skills, valuing individual differences, as well as appreciating community service and volunteer work. Some students will be able to teach African drumming and also explore what they are learning in the classroom in a deeper way.
