University honors Indigenous Peoples’ Day Celebration will include Native American food offered at Hillside Cafe

Faith Price, director of Native American Student Services, participates in a round dance with students and community members to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Oct. 8, 2018 at Terrel Mall.

SU is celebrating its second annual Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Monday with diverse activities organized

by WSU’s Native American Programs.

Tony Brave, Native American Programs outreach coordinator, said celebrating this day is a great way to honor and recognize Indigenous people on campus.

“The day itself is just a special day to be able to center and celebrate not only people who are native to this land, in this continent but also Indigenous peoples worldwide,” he said. “I think that’s very special, and there hasn’t been a day like that before.”

Joelle Berg, Native American retention specialist and event organizer, said all WSU campuses celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day every second Monday in October after WSU President Kirk Schulz signed a proclamation last year.

HEALTH

Officials address accessibility for mental health services Some mental health services will offer sameday appointments

By Andrea Gonzalez Evergreen reporter

Campus Mental Health Collaborative held a meeting on Friday to discuss how to make mental health services more accessible to students.

Paula Adams, Cougar Health Services associate director, said the purpose of the collaborative is to expand WSU’s capacity to address mental well-being and suicide prevention.

She said the goal is to enhance mental well-being on campus by looking at how the institution can better address the issue on campus.

WSU received a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration grant that was intended to help build up the internal infrastructure around mental health services and suicide prevention, Adams said.

The collaborative will move to a new model that addresses students who have less urgent mental health needs first, and then reach students with more acute needs. Adams said the new model was done to have more preventative measures.

Jennifer Ellsworth, counseling and psychological services

director, said they are trying to find ways to meet the needs of students on campus.

She said they normally have long wait lists at the end of the semester because they are short-staffed.

The counseling and psychological services will shift to a same-day schedule where the counselors will wrap up their ongoing clinical work so they can be available for students looking to schedule an appointment the same day.

Ellsworth said they are working to figure out how to use their limited resources as effectively as they can.

Counseling Services is planning to have a central location in downtown Pullman with general health services information available to students and community members.

They want to have a space that is paid for by the university in downtown Pullman with rotating providers.

She said they are working to make it easier for students to book an appointment online and meet with a counselor.

It’s not a duplication of what the counseling center offers, Ellsworth said. They are hoping that it will be more accessible to a broader range of students.

The goal would be for students who have a problem and See Services Page 7

‘We feel like we aren’t necessarily wanted’ Students attend fourth annual UndocuQueer conference in Seattle

By Cheryl Aarnio Evergreen reporter

Editor’s note: Two people interviewed in this article were not named to protect their privacy and safety as undocumented students.

A WSU student used a paintbrush to create wide strokes of blue across a painted-black canvas, eventually switching her color palette to include purple, red and orange strokes to make a rainbow gradient. She had written down her insecurities on the canvas before she painted it black.

This was only one of the workshops offered at the annual UndocuQueer Conference on Oct. 12 in Seattle. The conference was for college students, administrators and faculty to discuss issues facing undocumented and queer students.

WSU and the University of Washington collaborated for this conference, said Magdalena Fonseca, director for the UW Samuel E. Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center.

Since the 2016 presidential election, many underrepresented students and undocumented students are seeing more discrimination and harassment, Fonseca said.

As a result, student affairs practitioners are looking at how to address those issues with counter-programming, such as the UndocuQueer Conference, to show support, Fonseca said.

One WSU student who went to the conference is both undocumented and part of the LGBTQ+ community.

She said she thinks the conference showed people who are either undocumented or part of the LGBTQ+ community that both groups are similar in many ways.

They both go through discrimination, fear rejection and

must learn how to embrace themselves, she said.

However, both groups have different fears, she said.

People who are solely from the LGBTQ+ community are not scared of being deported, and people who are solely undocumented are not afraid that their family may not accept them, she said.

As a freshman, she is part of the first class of students to enter college since Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) went into effect and is ineligible to apply for the program, she said.

She said she feels like people forget that there are people who do not have DACA. “We feel like we aren’t necessarily wanted at some times,” she said.

She went to the conference because she wanted to embrace who she is and find comfort in both the undocumented and LGBTQ+ communities, she said.

Another undocumented student from WSU said she had been afraid to share that she is undocumented.

“I suppressed it for the longest time,” she said. “It was just something I ignored.”

She did not realize going to a college other than a community college was an option for her until she was in her last year of high school, and people told her that it was possible.

The reason she came to WSU was because of the people at the school who help undocumented students and provide them with resources, she said.

Out of all the workshops offered at the conference, she said she looked forward to the painting workshop the most because it was a way to turn something ugly into something beautiful.

The painting session helped people realize that they may not be over certain experiences that have happened to them, and those experiences have become part of them, said Linda Vargas, one of the leaders of the

However, Vargas said, they can choose whether those experiences tear them down or make them stronger.

The conference also included many other workshops, ranging from how to be an LGBTQ+ ally to how to support undocumented students to mental health.

Keynote speaker Catalina

Velasquez, UW Ph.D. student in the Department of Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies, talked about the number of transgender women of color who have been murdered.

So far this year, at least 18 have been murdered, she said, and nothing has been done about it.

“Black trans lives matter, and trans lives are often seen as dis-

posable,” she said.

She said there are about one million LGBTQ+ immigrants in the United States. 267,000 of those people are also undocumented. Yet many undocumented groups do not welcome those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community and vice versa.

“Immigrant justice is Black Lives Matter. Immigrant justice is LGBTQ rights,” she said.

WSU student creates business from cookie cutters Entrepreneur sells 3D printed WSU themed cookie cutters online

By Shanel Haynes Evergreen reporter

A WSU student who began creating WSU-themed cookie cutters out of his dorm room using a 3D printer has transformed his hobby into a business.

Connor Weller, junior mechanical engineering major, said the Cougkie Cutter website features cookie cutters in the shape of cougar paws, mustaches, jerseys, footballs and the WSU cougar, all ranging from $8 to $11.

The company also sells seasonal cookie packages, which it has delivered to WSU students and cookie decorating classes in the past, he said.

Weller said starting a business selling cookie cutters was never his intention, but after the positive reaction he received from his first Cougkie cutter, he developed the idea TAYLOR OLSON | THE DAILY EVERGREEN for the company.

“I made one for my mom, Connor Weller, mechanical engineering major, shares his experience with building and she absolutely loved it, and a business on Cougar themed cookie cutters on Friday evening in the Spark.

she posted a picture of it on the WSU parent Facebook chat and that went viral. They all started sharing it and loved it,” he said.

After the positive reactions he received from Facebook, he said he began to make the cookie cutters in his GannonGoldsworthy dorm as a freshman using a 3D printer.

He said all the designs he uses are printed in sets of four. The time it takes to make the cutters varies depending on the design.

On average, it can take about two to four hours to make a set.

“I would get up at around two in the morning and reset the prints and keep going, and the business kind of grew from there,” Weller said.

From his dorm, the company began growing. He was able to start adding more cookie cutters, build a website, set up shipping and start experimenting with injection molding for his Cougkie cutter design, he said.

He said he uses the profits from the business to help pay for college. Sometimes the business makes more during certain See Cougkie Page 7

Cougars draw with Sun Devils Back-to-back Bohler beatdowns WSU took down both UO and OSU hard this weekend in Pullman

Team did not score a goal, though they had many opportunities

By Ryan Root Evergreen reporter

By Jaclyn Seifert Evergreen reporter

The story seemed too similar to Thursday’s loss for No. 15 Washington State as they settled with a 0-0 tie in overtime against the Arizona State Sun Devils for a cloudy match Sunday afternoon on the Lower Soccer Field.

“We have just got to score. That’s what we have to figure out,” said sophomore defender Kelis Barton.

The Cougars battled from start to finish against the Sun Devils with an advantage in height and aggression.

Despite outshooting the Sun Devils with 27 shots to four shots, WSU could not get a goal in the back of the net against Arizona State.

Head coach Todd Shulenberger said his team plans to flush the tie, move on, and get back to work on Tuesday.

“The reality of it is that we just didn’t score today. That ultimately falls back on me, the head coach, and it falls on the players that needed to put themselves in better spots and feel more comfortable,” Shulenberger said after the match.

Shulenberger said he would rather have the problem of not scoring now rather than later.

“It is something that just happens in the game of soccer, and it will get worked on. We will keep plugging away and keep positive. That’s all we can do,” Shulenberger said.

Last year the Sun Devils (6-53, 0-3-2) brought the heat against the Cougars (9-3-1, 2-2-1) in Tempe, Arizona, taking home a 3-1 win.

Three Cougar starters suffered injuries in Tempe. This included two ACL injuries that ended the season for junior forward Elyse Bennett and junior defender Aaqila McLyn. WSU has an all-time record against Arizona State of 10-13-2.

The Cougars were looking for a win after suffering their sixthstraight loss against the University

HSING-HAN CHEN | DAILY EVERGREEN FILE

Senior forward Morgan Weaver kicks the ball past Arizona defenders Thursday night at the Lower Soccer Field. of Arizona, despite dominating the field.

Four minutes into overtime, WSU sophomore defender Mykiaa Minniss received a red card after a tough tackle and argument with ASU sophomore forward Nicole Douglas. Douglas received a yellow card.

In the last 10 seconds of regular play, senior forward Morgan Weaver just missed the back of the net sending the ball outside to the back post to get one on the board for the Cougars. Weaver, who is the Cougars leading scorer, had 16 chances to score but could not get one in.

The Sun Devils tested graduate student goalkeeper Ella Dederick immediately, in the first 30 seconds

of play, for a save after a break away that forced her to come off her backline.

Dederick said moving forward she plans to encourage her teammates to keep going.

“I mean there is nothing you can really do. We tied, we didn’t lose … and we kept a shutout,” Dederick said.

Dederick became the all-time leader in minutes played per game for WSU only 23 minutes into the match against the Sun Devils. She also recently became the all-leader in wins with 46 in her career and moved to third in all-time saves with 269 for WSU. By the end of the first half, head coach Todd Shulenberger and his staff substituted seven players, over

half of the starting lineup.

Wearing their bright pink jerseys in support of breast cancer awareness, WSU had a notable pair of three shots on goal in the first ten minutes.

Junior defender Brianna Alger, with only three minutes left in the first half, had an impressive break away crossing over the ball and then faking right to dribble around an Arizona State midfielder.

The Pac-12 recognized Alger, who recently changed her position from forward to a left defender, twice as the Pac-12 defensive player of the week this season.

The second half was almost identical to the first. The Cougars dominated offensively, despite not scoring.

“I think it’s a big learning opportunity for us. One thing we are really good at is bouncing back and I think that is something we have always held our heart to,” Barton said. “I think a lot of technical shooting. I think we are all starting to realize where our weaknesses are personally, individually and as a team.”

She said her team will score goals again from building their connection back off the field and being there for each other.

“I honestly think we are on a positive note. It sucks not getting a great result but we’re going to be fine,” Barton said.

WSU will continue play against Oregon at 7 p.m. on Saturday at Pape Field in Eugene, Oregon.

College football week 8 AP Poll analysis AP Top 25

The AP finally ousted Texas A&M of the Top 25, Alabama is still #1

By Kuria Pounds Evergreen columnist

The Associated Press released its Top 25 Poll for Week 8. After the red river rivalry game, between LSU vs. Florida and Alabama vs. Texas A&M, the rankings changed. After this past week, and the release, here is what is right and what is wrong with the AP Poll this week.

What is right with the AP Poll: LSU deserves to be in the top four. They beat Texas on the road and now Florida at home in close, but good games. Even though they still have to play Alabama down the road, this team is definitely one of the best college football teams in the country. Led by Heisman candidate Joe Burrow, LSU will make the playoff if they keep up these impressive wins, even if they lost to Alabama.

Penn State in the top 7 now?

Perfect. Yes, they had a close game against Iowa in Iowa City, but they are good. They add competition to the Big 10 this year. They still have to play Michigan and Ohio State, but if they run the table, they could also make it into the college football playoff, if chaos ensues.

Missouri is finally in the top 25.

They haven’t played anyone seen as “better” than them yet, but the way they recovered after their week one loss to Wyoming on the road was impressive. They do still have Georgia and Florida on the schedule, back-to-back. However, if transfer quarterback Kelly Bryant can lead this team after his departure from Clemson, Missouri can make some noise in the SEC East.

Also, can we point out Texas A&M is finally out of the top 25?

I told you they were not a top 25 team. It took three weeks, but it finally happened.

RYAN PUGH | DAILY EVERGREEN FILE

Then-junior University of Oregon wide reciever Brenden Schooler breaks the tackle of then-redshirt junior WSU defensive back Daniel Isom on Oct. 21, 2018 in Martin Satdium.

What is wrong with the AP Poll: Why is Clemson ahead of Ohio State? Clemson did beat Florida State by 31 at home, but Clemson’s only “good” win of the season this year is against Texas A&M. They don’t have anyone ranked left on the schedule. As of right now, Texas A&M is the only ranked opponent they will face or have faced this year. They are the Notre Dame of last year, undefeated, but beating opponents that do not boost their resume. The top four teams should be Alabama, LSU, Ohio State and Oklahoma.

Ohio State has only played Michigan State, who was ranked at the time of their game. Though

Ohio State still has Wisconsin, Michigan and Penn State on their schedule. For Oklahoma, they just beat Texas. Yes, their schedule is easy, but they still got to face an underrated Baylor team, Iowa State and Oklahoma State. This team is talented, especially after Clemson has fallen off after winning the national championship last year.

Georgia is not a top 10 team.

They got embarrassed at home against South Carolina. They got exposed on offense, after Jake Fromm threw three interceptions at home. Their offense really struggled against a team that they were favored to beat by at least 20, even with their defense holding it down.

Can we get some more respect for the Pac-12 please? Oregon is dominant in the Pac-12 after their close loss to Auburn at a neutral site. Utah looked good as well, and they’re only at 12 and 13 because of them being in the Pac12? Utah’s only loss is against USC at home without their best running back in a close game. At least put Oregon in the top 10.

Earlier, I was high on Baylor, but after this past game against Texas Tech, winning in double overtime, why are they going up four spots?

They should stay in the same spot or have gone down one spot.

Washington is not a top 25 team.

They beat Arizona, after coming off an embarrassing loss to Stanford

1. Alabama 2. LSU 3. Clemson 4. Ohio State 5. Oklahoma 6. Wisconsin 7. Penn State 8. Notre Dame 9. Florida 10. Georgia 11. Auburn 12. Oregon 13. Utah 14. Boise State 15. Texas 16. Michigan 17. Arizona State 18. Baylor 19. SMU 20. Minnesota 21. Cincinnati 22. Missouri 23. Iowa 24. Appalachian State 25. Washington

on the road. They must play Oregon and Utah still, and those are backto-back. Their offense in the first half looked horrible, like last week against Stanford. They couldn’t finish in the red zone in the first half of either game. If they continue with this, they will be down so much, that they cannot come back.

Notable matchups for this week: 12th-ranked Oregon plays 25th-ranked Washington Temple faces 19th-ranked SMU 18th-ranked Baylor travels to Stillwater to face Oklahoma State 17th-ranked Arizona State plays 13th-ranked Utah 16th-ranked Michigan faces 7th-ranked Penn State

The No. 24 WSU Cougars triumphed over the Oregon Ducks 3-1 on Friday night at Bohler Gym. WSU (15-3, 4-2) won the first, third and fourth sets 25-17, 25-22 and 25-13. Oregon (5-10, 1-5) won the second set 25-22.

Jocelyn Urias, redshirt senior middle blocker, led the team with 14 kills.

Junior outside hitter Penny Tusa and freshman outside hitter Pia Timmer had double-doubles in kills and digs.

“I think we’re really dynamic,” Tusa said. “We played our best.”

Oregon began the first set of the match with seven total errors to WSU’s four. Tusa gave the WSU offense seven kills and a .500 hitting percentage for the 25-17 set win.

The second set hosted an uphill battle for the Cougars after a 7-7 tie. WSU made seven attack errors.

The Cougars did tie the set at 19, but Oregon closed out WSU’s late comeback attempt with the final score of 25-22.

WSU struck back with a vengeance in the third set with 18 kills.

Head coach Jen Greeny switched up the team’s approach with new substitutes across the court.

Urias led the charge with seven kills, including the kill to win the set for the Cougars 25-22.

“Everybody’s got to be ready,” Greeny said. “I thought the people that came in did a nice job as well.”

Oregon made 17 errors in the fourth set, and WSU won the set 25-13.

Urias said the team’s consistent substituting contributed to the win.

“If someone is in, they do a good job. If they substitute them for someone else, they do a good job,” Urias said.

WSU finished the night with a .248 hitting percentage, and Oregon had a .133 hitting percentage.

The Cougars defeated Oregon

State 3-1 on Sunday in Bohler Gym. The final scores were 25-21, 25-21, 18-25, and 25-18.

WSU and Oregon State went back and forth for multiple rallies in the first set. Jehlárová tallied five kills on five attacks, to give her a 1.000 hit percentage in the first set.

“Fortunately, we managed to win most of [the rallies] today,” Jehlárová said. “It’ll keep the energy of the team pretty high.”

The Cougars maintained their blocking momentum in the second set. The Beaver’s late comeback attempt was not enough to overtake the Cougars. Oregon State went on a three-point streak to try to shift momentum late in the set before WSU took a time out.

Freshman defensive specialist libero Julia Norville served two aces and junior outside hitter Penny Tusa served one.

Coach Jen Greeny believes the consistent rallies throughout the match will set up the team for success in the future.

WSU defense unable to take the heat of the Sun Devil offense

By Sam Grant Evergreen reporter

WSU football traveled to Tempe, Arizona for their second-straight away game to challenge No. 20 Arizona State University on Saturday.

The Cougars (3-2, 0-2 Pac-12) came to Arizona State after a bye week, followed by a road loss to Utah the week before that.

The Sun Devils (4-1, 1-1 Pac-

12) rolled into the game after defeating then-ranked No. 15 Cal. WSU received the ball first, driving downfield for a touchdown, courtesy of redshirt senior quarterback Anthony Gordon and redshirt sophomore receiver Travell Harris.

The offensive duo connected for a 35-yard touchdown to put the Cougars above the Sun Devils 7-0 early in the first quarter.

ASU would be up on offense next, with all eyes on the Cougar defense, as former defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys resigned the week before.

WSU’s defense exceeded expectations, forcing the Sun Devils to a three-play drive followed by a punt on the very first drive.

After getting the ball back, the Cougars made another offensive push, this time being held to three points. Redshirt sophomore kicker Blake Mazza extended the lead to 10 in the first quarter.

The Sun Devils came into the second quarter rolling on offense, as they put up six with a 40-yard touchdown pass, making it 10-7 Cougars after the extra point.

The Cougars answered in the following drive with two 29-yard passes that surged the offense to the endzone, with a twoyard touchdown pass to senior receiver Dezmon Patmon, making the score 17-7.

ASU’s offense made a strong push in the end of the second

quarter, scoring a touchdown off a two-play drive, followed by a field goal try to tie the game at 17 points each before the half.

On top of the momentum that ASU had going into the half, they received the ball coming out of it. They ended up capitalizing on this and scored on a 32-yard rushing touchdown. This put the Sun Devils up for the first time in the game 24-17.

WSU’s high-powered second half offense shone in the first offensive drive for the Cougars when redshirt senior receiver Easop Winston Jr. caught a pass to tie it up at 24-24.

The Cougars continued the offensive push as they took back the ball and drove it for another touchdown as sophomore running back Max Borghi pushed in for a two-yard rush. This put WSU back up 31-24 at the end of the third quarter.

ASU responded with a long

drive to open the fourth quarter that ended with a 33-yard touchdown to tie the game for the third time at 31-31.

Mazza returned to give WSU the lead. As the kick was sent off, the ball missed the uprights of the goal posts, only for the referees to stop the game, saying that WSU had taken a timeout prior to the snap. Mazza’s next try would be good, putting the Cougars up 34-31 with 2:57.

The Sun Devils put on a short drive to the endzone, as ASU’s quarterback ran the ball into the endzone for a touchdown, giving ASU the lead late 38-34.

ASU ran away with this one, moving up to a 5-1 record on the year, putting the Cougars down to 3-3.

The Cougars return for the homecoming against the University of ColoradoBoulder at 4 p.m. on Saturday at Martin Stadium.

Student Recreation Center dives into autumn

“To a degree, Maria [played by Agata Buzek], the sister who showed up at the hospital begging for help, speaks for all of them when she describes the challenges and rewards of belief and self-sacrifice as ‘24 hours of doubt for one minute of hope,’” according to the New York Times.

Berg said the celebration will begin at 8:15 a.m. with a teepee set up on the steps of Todd Hall.

Anyone is welcome to come join and help with the set up.

“You don’t have to be Native to participate in the events,” she said. “It’s a community thing.

We welcome anyone.”

Native American Programs will table from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Todd Hall. Berg said they will hand out fliers and hold trivia games to help educate the WSU community about Native Americans and other indigenous people.

From 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Hillside Cafe will present an Indigenous Celebration lunch to recognize and celebrate Native American food and culture. This is in collaboration with Ku-AhMah Native Student Association.

Berg said this celebration is an excellent way for students to gain new experiences and engage in discussions with diverse groups of people. She said they are planning to partner up with other indigenous groups for next year’s program.

“Even though Indigenous Peoples’ Day is only one day, not a whole education curriculum, it is a wonderful start and is a great time to expose students and staff and community alike to issues that Native people face,” Brave said.

Educating the public about issues Native Americans and other indigenous people experience is an important responsibility, he said. It is important for individuals to understand how current issues relate to the past and how they will affect the future.

“I want [students] to feel comfortable, to be able to ask questions, to learn and to join in on whatever the event might be … we want as many of our students to be educated around Native issues. It’s something that affects all people,” Brave said.

Weller said when it comes to the business, he handles most of the management, product design and marketing. However, his family does play a big role in the business, helping with shipping the product.

He said most of the shipping happens from his parents’ home in Vancouver, Washington.

“As a college student that kind of stuff is hard because it’s a daily thing that you have to do,” he said.

She said AWARE Network aids with students facing financial concerns, homelessness, food insecurity, or have a concern around sexual assault.

They are working to see how they can make the AWARE network more inviting and more inclusive. Creighton said they will prioritize access to mental health services.

“I think with his experience being so young and already having a successful business, he’s just going to go on and do even greater things,” she said.

“I just hope that he sticks with the cougar theme, because the cougar family is huge, and we love to support our cougs.”

Weller said he wants to expand his business by making more products such as WSU-themed Christmas ornaments and have an apparel line.

He said he might venture into creating cookie cutters based on other colleges. It might be challenging to start selling other college-themed cookie cutters because of how supportive and passionate the WSU community is, but it still is something worth looking into, he said

Aqua Patch | Cont. from Pg. 6 “They did really well with making resources available, and it was well planned,” said Olivia Sciumbato, freshman psychology and criminal justice double major.

Lindorfer said he felt like the event was a success and looks forward to seeing it increase in size in the future.

“If I had an ultimate goal for this event, I’d be able to fill the entire shallow side of the pool with pumpkins, and they would all be gone in the first hour of the event,” Lindorfer said.

After the first hour the 140 pumpkins in the pool reduced to roughly 60 pumpkins, and after the first hour and a half, they had roughly 40 left. Before 8 p.m. rolled around, every pumpkin had been fished out and taken home by an eager and excited student from WSU. “[My favorite part is] the adrenaline rush I get from preparing the event and watching DARCY DUNBAR | THE DAILY EVERGREEN it happen, just being able to give back to the community,” Pumpkins float in the pool in preparation for guests to pick out at the Aqua Patch Event on Wednesday at the Student Recreation Center. “They did really well with making resources available and it was well planned,” Olivia Sciumbata said.

French Film Festival | Continued from Page 6 presented in the Palouse French Film Festival.

“Some of our films get more toward the history of France, some are more modern and culture, or today’s French society,” said Sabine Davis, WSU clinical professor of French.

All the films reflect on the French lifestyle, Davis said. French movies have been influential to international cinema.

“Over the years, French cinema has really produced some very successful and qualified films,” Davis said.

However, she said, the event is more than an entertaining showcase.

“It’s really for us, for me and my colleague, in organizing this kind of an extension to our class because we teach French films in our classes. We teach French culture,” Davis said. “But taking our students to see those films really gives them a more vivid picture of what it is like to be French, to be part of that culture and that heritage.”

Teresa Spencer, freshman psychology major,

said this event showed WSU’s respect to a diverse community because it shows people can come from many different backgrounds and interests but still come together as a community to share and celebrate those differences.

“WSU students come from all over the world, and we enjoy so many different things. I think this event will allow WSU students to experience another culture in a unique way,” Spencer said.
