Join EVOKE for our General Body Meeting where we will discuss upcoming events, brainstorm ideas for next semester, and engage in a creative hands-on activity!
What to Expect: - Event Planning & Updates β A brief rundown of future events and whatβs on the horizon.
- Brainstorming Session β Share your ideas and help shape next semesterβs events.
- Bracelet Making Test Run β We will be making African flag bracelets, but everyone is welcome to create any flag they choose! This is a fun, creative session and also a test for a potential future bracelet-making event.
Join us for an in-depth discussion on the ongoing political and social crisis in Haiti. We will explore the factors that led to the government's collapse, from the assassination of President Jovenel MoΓ―se to the rise of gang control and the deepening humanitarian struggles.
With nearly half of the population facing acute hunger and over a million people displaced, Haiti stands at a critical crossroads. International intervention efforts, including a Kenyan-led multinational force, are in motion, but uncertainty looms over the countryβs future.
This event will provide historical context, insight into the current crisis, and a space to discuss potential solutions.
