There were cookies and smiles at the first Culture Table meeting of the term.
Every Wednesday at noon to 12:50 p.m., a group of people meet to discuss cultures from around the world.
The group started a couple of years ago in the library.
Headed by LBCC staff Clare Sobotka and Kim Sullivan, the culture tables discuss a subject each week to understand what students experiences are.
"The whole point is for international and domestic students to broaden their global view," Sullivan said.
Wednesday, Feb. 2, the topic was on TV and movies, but the subject changed and developed into discussions about other subjects.
There were about 11 people at the event, actively engaged in the conversation.
Rob Lewis, a math teacher at LBCC, was attending. This year he is taking five students to China to teach English.
The Culture Tables might merge into the Global Connections club, if attendance is still low Spring Term.
This Fall term the culture tables are alternating meeting places between the Diversity Achievement Center (DAC), and the English Language and Culture Institute (ELCI).
The DAC is next to the Commuter News Office in the second story of the Forum, and the ELCI is in a separate building behind the greenhouse. They would love to have people join and learn about cultures from around the world.
As of now, they are taking a break for the term, and will resume a few weeks after term starts.
If you want to eat food and learn about other cultures join the Culture Tables.
