Uniting the Campus

The Onondaga Community College campus came together to celebrate Unity Day Wednesday, September 21.

Activities included cultural food stations, leather wristband making, cross faith necklace making, henna tattoos, dancing by the amphitheater, an art contest, and more!

The Unity Day Student Committee, which organized and made the event happen, included Shoug Alkasabreh, Elyssia Baez, Kenneth Bivens, George Cooper, Thuw J-Elmi, Sierra Linton, Lauren Myers, Joshua Newman, Heather Patrick, and Shayne Turo. 

Students voted to recognize Matilda Joslyn Gage during this semester's event. The native of Cicero was a pioneering suffragist, abolitionist, and Native American rights advocate. The event theme was, "United We Stand: If I were meant to be controlled, I would have come with a remote."
