Last year’s bazaar, which was sponsored
by the Council of Countries Club, was a new campus event designed
to kick off the holiday season at HPU. “This year,” said
Ann Newton, director of International Student Services, “the
bazaar will be a part of downtown’s ‘First Friday’ activities.
This will allow our students the opportunity to share their traditions
and culture with a larger public.
“
The holidays are a perfect occasion to showcase the vast array
of cultures and ideas represented among the HPU community,” Newton
added.
Booths will be on display from 4 to 7:30 p.m., and cash prizes
up to $300 will be awarded to the students or organizations designing
the most festive, creative, and interactive displays.
Last year, the winning exhibit was the Black Student Union, which
took the top prize with a display on the traditions of Kwanza.
Involvement in the International Holiday Bazaar is open to all
HPU students regardless of club affiliation. Anyone with the
enthusiasm and creativity is encouraged to participate.
Tekla Weiterman, a junior from Canada, president of the Council
of Countries, and chair of this year’s event, said: “Many
people will never have the opportunity to travel to the parts
of the world represented among the HPU student body. The Holiday
Bazaar is a fun and creative venue to convey our traditions to
the community.”

Bazaar, call the International Center at 543-8088 or stop by
