A new student group called MOSAIC at the University of Colorado at 葫芦娃视频 has been formed to provide students the chance to meet other students of multiple ethnicities.
"We would like to give students who do not identify with a single race an opportunity to meet other people in similar situations and to make friends and enjoy the activities we are planning," said founder Masaru Torito, who is of Japanese and Panamanian descent.
Activities being planned for the group include guest speakers, movie night, counseling services and workshops.
According to co-president Brent Young, a sophomore in psychology, MOSAIC is not an acronym, but analogous to its meaning: an object that consists of a variety of colors. People of different ethnicities that make up the group correspond to those colors.
MOSAIC was founded this fall by Torito, a senior in communications. Cara McKinley, a sophomore in ethnic studies, and Young are the co-presidents. Leslee Caballero, co-coordinator for American Indian Student Services at the Cultural Unity Center, is the adviser for the group.
MOSAIC meets every Monday at 5:30 p.m. in the University Memorial Center, room 344. For more information contact Torito at (303) 548-1129.
