Association of Indian Graduate Students at Queen's- AIGSQ

❤️
AIGSQ was honoured to be able to host a Holi event to mark the onset of Spring this year in March! On the evening of the 13th of March, many of us gathered - away from the chill and the cold, in the hopes of wishing for and welcoming a warmer and greener series of seasons ahead. We were graced with music and dance performances, and the attendees were more than happy to join in on some fun and games! We would like to thank the Ban Righ Centre for their immense support and encouragement that they provided us, and we would like to, in turn, encourage all mature women students and families to make full use of the resources that they offer! We look forward to meeting, hosting, laughing and making merry with you again in the near future!

AIGSQ is proud to have facilitated, for the Yellow House's Culture Connect Program, We-Desi: A Republic Day Meet-and-Greet, for Indian graduate students at Queen's! Held on the 25th of January, we celebrated India's Republic Day and the experiences and camaraderie that comes with being international students in a land far from home. A trivia game was arranged by Shashank Satish, that tested (far too well) our knowledge of India's history and the present, and a screening of the short film Tokri (The Basket) - all of which was rounded out by homely ethnic snacks and drinks. We look forward to hosting more such meetings, and we are deeply grateful to the Yellow House for their support and for the wonderful space that they have created for BIPOC students on campus. Here's to many more such events, and the warmth and friendships they foster!
