Aapni Paichaan (Our Identity)We are hosting a competition of Punjabi poems, or kavitas. This competition is open to young Punjabi adults who can speak or write the language and are of the Punjabi culture. There will be monetary prizes for the first, second and third place winners, which will spark some healthy competition. We plan to have a Punjabi and English translation of every kavita submitted; we will translate from one language to the other, but would prefer to have the kavitas written in Punjabi. After the contest, the poems will be published in a book.

Interfaith Action InitiativeThe IAI's vision includes four goals:
· To create a space in which students can learn about other faith traditions and meet students of different faiths in an open, inviting, and challenging atmosphere. Students who are not necessarily affiliated with a religious student organization are also welcome.
· To serve as an amplifying body on issues that affect all students of faith on a college campus, e.g. the creation of public prayer space.
· To provide an opportunity for students of faith to experience principled pluralism and to learn to see geopolitical conflicts through each others’ eyes.
· To create a space for students to discuss controversial topics that involve the intersection of religion and politics in the 21st century, and to brainstorm creative approaches to resolve the tensions created by these conflicts.
