We, the African Students Association (ASA) will be hosting our annual event, Inside Africa. Inside Africa is fast approaching Saturday February 13, 2016. This event will be held from 5:30pm to 7:30pm in the Global Scholars Hall Great Room at the University of Oregon (UO)

Every year our Annual event, Inside Africa has a theme of showcasing successful African community members, as well as creating an open dialogue among University of Oregon students to current affairs and news pertaining to the continent of Africa.

Our goal is to celebrate Africa, its people, culture and heritage, while overcoming the common stereotypes society holds of Africa. During the course of the night, the audience will have the opportunity to hear from guest speakers Habib Iddrisu and Andre Djiffack . The event promotes peace, love, and cultural awareness as we celebrate our traditions and share our cultures with students and the local community. Each year various members of the Oregon community and students from various backgrounds come to celebrate and engage in our discussions. We expect an audience of 70 to 80 people, which is what the attendance rate has been in previous years. Our event is free and open to all members of the community.

The JSMAC Sketchbook Collective was started spring 2015 in response to interest in keeping a sketchbook for reflection, stress management and exploring art process. We host times for students of any discipline to come together every two weeks on and off campus to sketch, write and make art in their sketchbooks or journals, providing prompts through social media for inspiration and practice, as well as additional resources on the JSMAC blog. Whether you are wanting to learn to keep a sketchbook, or already draw and want to make more time to work in your sketchbook, join us! A limited number of sketchbooks are available at no cost on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Bring your own supplies and sketchbook (if you have one), otherwise we do have sketchbooks to give out for those who do not. These meetings are drop-in, no skill necessary and all are welcome! They are mostly self-led, as each of us works in different ways, but there will be some direction if wanted, and there are always opportunities to gain feedback from the group. For more information, contact project coordinator Stacey Ray at sroth3@uoregon.edu

JSMAC stands for the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art Student Member Advocacy Council formed in early 2014.

The winter term schedule for the JSMAC Sketchbook Collective is as follows:

Sunday, January 10          10 AM   Vero Café

Sunday, January 24          10 AM   Espresso Roma
