For the past two years, October has meant three things to Uni students: Halloween, PSATs, and, of course, the Uni Culture Fair. This year you can cross the fair off that list. Are you disappointed? Confused as to why it's not happening? If so, read on for more information from fair organizers themselves.

Uni's Multicultural Parent Advisory Group — MPAG for short — will host a general meeting and social event at the school from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday in Room 109 and the kitchen. Everyone is welcome to take part; there will be activities and games set up for kids and plenty of homemade food for everyone to enjoy.

How well does Uni support racial and gender diversity? How about religion, language, class, disability, and sexual preference? Last week, Director Steve Epperson sent out a schoolwide email requesting parents, students, faculty, and staff to respond to an online climate survey that dealt with these issues.

Uni students won't be in class from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, but that doesn't mean they won't be learning anything. For one hour, a multicultural panel will discuss culture and its impact on people's lives. The assembly will be held in Uni Gym. Chris Yoder has the details inside.

Last May, Uni held an all-school cultural fair to recognize and learn more about the differences that make up the Uni community. This year's fair will take place Friday in Uni Gym from 10:55 a.m. to 12:55 p.m., more than doubling the time allotted for last year's event. The fair will include lunch, music groups, and booths. Other activities are planned throughout October to celebrate Multicultural Month.
