International Coffee Hour, an event that Dean of Student Services Art Malloy says aims to educate the SCAD community about other cultures, took place in the Hub on April 8. “Our goal is to increase the level of cultural competency by introducing students to the cuisine, snacks and customs of various countries,” said Malloy. “It is also our hope that we can provide a little piece of home for our international students and those members of the faculty and staff that come from to different countries.” A different country will be featured at each event. This time, the event featured coffee and platters of English food. “Based on the attendance at the English Coffee Hour, we should expect a good turnout for coffee hours planned for the future,” said Malloy. This event also served as a platform to introduce Brett Reichert, SCAD-Atlanta’s new coordinator of international student services and student conduct. Reichert also will work with UNI, a SCAD-Atlanta student organization that welcomes international and American students, to coordinate future coffee hours.
