Rockin' and changin' the night away

On April 2, 2008, we held our annual Rhythms of Social Change. In the cozy Shorin Performance Studio (Kimmel 802), we raised awareness about social justice and other issues by Oxfam. With a painting corner, food in the back, and clubs tabling to to side with live music performances, it was an incredible night. The addition of a drumming cirle only added to the fun!

Dinner at a Bigger Table

All those that say the social justice movement has fizzled out at NYU, would have a hard time explaining the 100 plus student attendance at Oxfam America at NYU's annual Hunger Banquet. On November 16th 2007, over one hundred students chose to spend their Friday night learning about global hunger, on the top floor of Kimmel, overlooking New York City and its plethora of distractions. The evening however was not a passive learning experience, but an interactive dinner, with dynamic speakers, all reigniting the embers of student activism.
