Association, Peace Village and Just Community will host an international cuisine buffet dinner from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 22, in the ballroom of Music Hall. Ticket prices are $50 and $25 for individual tickets, or $15 for students and children under age 13. Donors can also contribute to sponsor tables (eight per table) at prices of $1,500 and $2,500.
Student organizer Sathish Sundaram says the dinner will feature international cuisine, an inter-faith prayer, multi-cultural music and a presentation about how proceeds from the fund-raiser will be sent to reputable organizations that have a history of serving the areas in need of relief.
Sundaram says students are inviting the Cincinnati community to join them for the fund-raiser at Music Hall. Students have been distributing fliers to spread the word. They will be distributing fliers around Fountain Square at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 19.
As of Jan. 19, a university-wide tsunami relief campaign, launched on Jan. 11, had raised $14,344 for the UC Tsunami Relief Fund through online payroll deductions and personal checks. The UC campaign runs through Feb. 9 and is part of a coordinated effort with fund-raisers at Xavier University and Northern Kentucky University.

Growing up on Ludlow Ave. in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Clifton, Harrison Fowler had planned to enroll in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) at the University of Cincinnati. UC was close to home, and ROTC seemed like the right choice. But life had other plans. At the last minute, Fowler withdrew from ROTC and enrolled to earn his bachelor’s in Spanish, which meant he needed a study-abroad experience to complete his degree. He was apprehensive, but completed his requirement in Madrid, in a move that would change the direction of his life. Says Fowler of his foreign-language major, and his experience abroad: “Speaking another language opens up a whole other world and relationships for you.”
