Cultural Celebrations and Observances
Crossroads sponsors and co-sponsors events throughout the year that celebrate the cultural traditions of the Capstone and the nation. Through these celebrations, the campus can learn about African American, Asian Pacific American, European American, Hispanic-Latino American, and Native American cultures. Examples of cultural heritage celebrations we coordinate are Native American Heritage Month, Scottish Tartan Day, and United Nations Day. Through these efforts, members of the University of Alabama community can learn about one another's cultural traditions and engage in intercultural conversation on campus.
