Mission
Statement
We, the members of SHAC, are
committed to uniting people of different cultures and backgrounds
in an environment where everybody is welcomed, and where
leadership roles are developed in the context of
Multiculturalism. We promote multiculturalism in the school
community and acceptance and appreciation of it.
SHAC is currently in the
process of transitioning to a Representative Board status
effective September 2007. Therefore, for the remainder of the
Spring 2007 semester, SHAC will be devoting much if its time and
resources to the drafting new governing documents and
reorganization of its structure. The officers of SHAC appreciate
your support!

Activities
Midnight
Mosaic is a festival of colors and tastes. It is an annual
event held at the beginning of every year where different
multicultural student organizations present their exhibitions,
food, music, dances, games and many other traditions. The talent
show at the end of the night is where beauties and talents around
the world come together. Co-sponsoring this event were ISA, ASA,
AfSA, AIUM, LASO, BSU, NASA, CSSA, Belly Dance club and French
club.
Winter Ball is
an annual event that is held at the end of the Fall semester. This
is a formal dance that everybody dresses up in tuxedos and gowns;
the event has amazing decorations and delicious food and drink.
The dance is open to
everybody, but usually attracts a lot of
multicultural/international students. The event so far has been
non-profit.
Spring dance is an annual event that takes place every year at the
end of the Spring semester. This is a beautiful night where we
dance and celebrate in a fresh atmosphere of a new spring.
The dance so far has been non-profit and like the winter ball, it
attracts a lot of multicultural as well as international students.
We welcome any
UMaine student to become a member of SHAC.
Be a part of
our cultural celebration!
