Amnesty Club Hosts 1st International Walk

Story by: Anleia Nance

On October 15th, students were given the chance to learn more about organizations on campus by attending the first International Walk. The event was hosted by the Amnesty International Club and took place on Main Quad. A replica of  Art Walk, the event consisted of many clubs setting up tables and selling various items such as baked goods, crafts, and  popular henna tattoos.

Each organization was also asked to create a tri-fold poster board display containing information about the club and how it relates to culture diversity.
The event allowed for participating groups such as the Trio Program, Harry Potter Club, and Anime Club, to raise money for themselves and obtain more awareness on campus. "It allows clubs to get more members and more publicity," said KanJella Dancer, a member of the Trio program. " We got to meet interesting club members here and you find interesting things."

Happy with the amount of participants, members of Amnesty were elated with how the event turned out and would like to see another International Walk next year. "I would love to do it again," said Vice President of Amnesty, Kristin Mize. " And I heard a few other people say they enjoyed it and that they would enjoy to participate again." Thinking positive, Amnesty hopes that the next one will be bigger and better.
