In 2016, College of Western Idaho (CWI) hosted the very first Fiesta Cultural. This year, CWI has partnered with Radio Rancho to celebrate the conclusion of Hispanic Heritage Month with a bigger, and better, Semana Cultural! Semana Cultural will kick-off with Fiesta Cultural on Saturday, Oct. 7, which will include dancers, boxing, martial arts demonstrations, and activities for kids. Lectures and presentations on various topics pertinent to the Hispanic community will take place the following week on the second floor atrium of the Nampa Campus Academic Building.
Semana Cultural needs your help! We are looking for employees to help staff the Fiesta Cultural event, on Oct. 7, in two-hour shifts between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Those wishing to volunteer must obtain permission from their supervisor.
Visit semanacultural.signupsheet.com to sign up. Volunteers will receive a confirmation email and additional details will be provided as the date approaches.
Employees unable to volunteer that day are encouraged to support the event in other ways including:
- Attending the event and encouraging others to attend
- Offering extra credit to students for participating in lectures throughout the week
- Encouraging students to participate in Fiesta Cultural via a group project or assignment (for example, Anthropology Club hosting a booth to discuss Mayan Culture)
