Hey Beautiful People,
There are going to be so many cool things happening today at Wonderful Wednesday and we just thought we'd share the news. One of the really cool things that we've been planning is our MONSTROUS 4ftx8ft Graffiti Wall. We need your help to decorate it. If you've got a spare minute today, stop by, say hi, and tag something onto the wall. We look forward to seeing you there.
P.S. Rumor has it that a certain immortal spirit might be at WW today. Who knows, maybe he'll even tag something onto the wall.
First and foremost, Happy Unity Month. For our first installment of the Tuesday Night Movie series, we will be showing the Award-Winning film Crash. Join us in White Hall 208 at 8pm, for a great time and interesting conversation. We look forward to seeing you there. Synopsis from IMDB.com Several stories interweave during two days in Los Angeles involving a collection of inter-related characters, a police detective with a drugged out mother and a thieving younger brother, two car thieves who are constantly theorizing on society and race, the white district attorney and his irritated and pampered wife, a racist white veteran cop (caring for a sick father at home) who disgusts his more idealistic younger partner, a successful Hollywood director and his wife who must deal with the racist cop, a Persian-immigrant father who buys a gun to protect his shop, a Hispanic locksmith and his young daughter who is afraid of bullets, and more.
Our first annual Multicultural Field Day is themed "Around the World in 180 Minutes". It will feature over 25 multicultural, ethnic, political, and activist organizations of Emory University. There will be snacks, cultural food, music, trivia and prizes, dance workshops, and cultural sports and games! Be sure to stop by MCDONOUGH FIELD next Sunday from 2-5 pm to experience cultural immersion and the unique diversity of Emory with hands-on activities. Multicultural Field Day is endorsed by Student Government, Residence Hall Association, Model UN, and PACT. You may also earn Greek Life Awards, ETEAM points, SYE, and Dooley's Cup points with attendance at the event. SPREAD THE WORD!
As you may or may not know, Unity Month is hosting this week's Wonderful Wednesday. We are absolutely excited!!!! There are going to be so many cool things happening all through out the day and we can't wait share the moment with you all. We would love it if you all could stop by to check it out, say hi, hang out, shoot the breeze.
P.S. We also be unveiling some of our other mischievous shenanigans.
At long last, It's finally complete . Here's the latest promo video for this year's festivities along with some other stuff that we've been working on behind the scenes. Simply put, we are excited about this year's celebrations. ARE YOU?
P.S. Look for a cameo by the one and only J Wag.
We Are Gold and Blue
Isn't it funny how life works sometimes?
Many of us go around feeling lonely
Even though there are literally thousands of people just like us
Maybe that's the curse of Emory's geography
Pockets of separate planets wrapped into one disjointed universe
Tunnel-visioned with no cognizance of any world outside of our own
It seems crazy to think that we all go to the same school
Sometimes suffer the repercussions of a bad lunch from the DUC
And constantly wish that Dooley would
Come let out of that God-awful test we did not study for
Sometimes I think we are too wrapped up
In the asinine hullabaloo of everyday life
Like that meeting I have to go to
Or the test I have to study for
And for Pete's sake why won't my lab experiments work
To really stop and take a moment to see what makes us all special
We are a community of scientists and artists
Thinkers and dreamers
We are business people and hippies
We are superficially serious and secretly goofy
We're bent on saving the world
Even though sometimes we act like we don't care
We've all got burdens we refuse to share
We're LGBT and straight
We're Buddhists, Muslims, Wiccans, Christians,
Jews and Hindus, Agnostics and Sikhs
We're even Atheists in more ways than we care to admit
We're Israelis and Palestinians, Tibetan and Chinese
We are every race, color, gender, and creed
But no matter how we divide amongst ourselves
Or what campus we're on
Come what may
Whether hell or high water
Or sun or rain
You and me will forever be
Gold and Blue
