BROOKLYN COLLEGE— On Tuesday, April 21, the Brooklyn College Middle Eastern North African Club, in collaboration with the Mexican Heritage Student Association, Puerto Rican Alliance and Ecuadorian Student Association, held its first “Café Del Mundo” event in the Student Center.
“Café Del Mundo” is Middle Eastern North African Club’s first event as a Brooklyn College club, serving as its introduction to the campus.
“The decision to start MENA at Brooklyn College came from noticing the lack of a space representing Middle Eastern and North African students,” Middle Eastern North African Club President Asal Alfaraji told The Vanguard. “The idea to start with a multicultural café came from the fact that coffee is universal, especially across both [MENA and Latin American] regions. It felt like the perfect way to bring people together and introduce the sense of community MENA aims to build at Brooklyn College.”
