AIGSQ is proud to have facilitated, for the Yellow House's Culture Connect Program, We-Desi: A Republic Day Meet-and-Greet, for Indian graduate students at Queen's! Held on the 25th of January, we celebrated India's Republic Day and the experiences and camaraderie that comes with being international students in a land far from home. A trivia game was arranged by Shashank Satish, that tested (far too well) our knowledge of India's history and the present, and a screening of the short film Tokri (The Basket) - all of which was rounded out by homely ethnic snacks and drinks. We look forward to hosting more such meetings, and we are deeply grateful to the Yellow House for their support and for the wonderful space that they have created for BIPOC students on campus. Here's to many more such events, and the warmth and friendships they foster!
