Plaza flag raising, expanded Walkout Day place new emphasis on students

flag raising small   A colorful Northwest tradition will mark its 10th anniversary at 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26, when the University's Intercultural and International Center hosts the 2007 flag-raising ceremony at the Joyce and Harvey White International Plaza. This year's event is being held in conjunction with Walkout Day, an expanded version of another longstanding University ritual, which will comprise activities scheduled between noon and 4 p.m. on the Colden Pond lawn.
   "IIC is proud to partner with RHA and SAC in presenting an expanded and improved Walkout Day celebration," said Jeffrey Foot, director of international affairs for the University. "Together we are planning an afternoon that will add meaning to the event and attract students that might not otherwise participate." MORE
