Honors Students Engage Community

Wondering why Honors courses are so different from others?
On Saturday, October 26 Honors students enrolled in Professor Faye McMahon’s, “Folk Arts, Festival and Public Display” engaged with community members from DR Congo at Refugee Resettlement Services in Syracuse. Makene, Kiza and Tamone introduced students through their storytelling to their unique traditional arts. After the two hour program, the students enjoyed a traditional Somali meal at the nearby African International Restaurant, a popular community gathering place frequented by new immigrants to Syracuse from East Africa.
Below are some wonderful photos of the class’s outing!
