Join us as we empower one another to share our stories and strengthen our whole community. In the process of our sharing, we will be weaving a community cloth, symbolizing our differences as individual people coming together as a community. One thread alone is weak, but woven with the strength of many threads, a cloth becomes strong. Woven Words is a grass‐roots movement to start community conversations with LGBT individuals throughout South Dakota. The Woven Words Project is beginning in Spearfish at BHSU with the Gay‐Straight Alliance's hosting of the project. ‐‐Submitted by Desy Schoenewies ‐ 11‐4 Curiosity Week Nov. 7‐14 Curiosity Week is a week initiated by ISO where students are encouraged to open themselves to new opportunities and challenge anything that limits them from going the extra mile. Curiosity Week will run from Nov. 7 ‐ starting with International Festival, and end on the Nov. 14 with a home football game. We believe that BHSU has a great potential, a pool of amazing students, passionate leaders that will one day help shape the world we live in. So why not organizing a week of Curiosity to encourage everyone to try new things, start saying “YES!” and equip them with the idea that “Anything is possible”.
