November is an exciting time for Binghamton University and the Multicultural Resoucer Center.

The sports fanatic is in sheer ecstacy this month with football season, at the professional and collegiate levels, in full bloom, Major League Baseball World Series in full swing, and basketball season spining off. While, the politically estute person is excited for United States local, state and national elections. And, if those are not enough for you, November concludes with Thanksgiving holiday, Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping and brings on the winter holiday season!

For our students November means mid-terms, mid-terms and more mid-terms. It also means reflecting on blessings while also showing gratitude torward or spending time with friends and family during the Thanksgiving Holiday Break!

While for the MRC it means hosting the Student Leader Meeting, Culture at Chenango: Dwali Edition, filming Diversity Talk Show, conducting diversity workshops and trainings, recruiting new interns and gearing up for Global Fiesta at the start of December.

1.) Nothing gets a staff together more than a good old fashioned competition. In this case, an office decorating contest. Every year, Binghamton offices break out the scotch tape and deck out their offices with Bearcat Spirit for Homecoming weekend. This year we are proud to announce that the MRC won first place for student groups! The judges were elated to see just how spirited we can be.

2.) Amongst the throngs of visiting past students, alumni of color were well represented. Dozens of old, familiar faces came back to see their old campus. With the campus atmosphere and infrastructure constantly evolving, alumni were both surprised

and elated by the additions. The Alumni of Color Reunion kicked off with tours, a networking event, opening reception and the always spectatuclar BSU Fashion Show!

3.) Few things are more representative of a college experience than a tailgate. That’s exactly what was in store for both visiting alumni and students as the Binghamton soccer team got ready to square up against Umass Amhrst. We, the MRC, did our part to boost the good times with soul food and barbeque, a wide assortment of drinks, and a DJ playing the best in R&B.

4.) After a long day of catching up friends, seeing new and familiar parts of campus, and munching on great food the alumni of color danced the night away at State Street’s Liquid Lounge. Just like the good ol’ days, but with years of experience mixed in. Celebrity DJ Kid Capri kept the party pumping with old school hip hop and R&B with a mix of new school hits.

5.) After a great first

two days, the weekend was capped off with an exultant performance from gospel singer D’atra Hicks. Co-sponsored by the Binghamton University Gospel Choir, Campus Activities and Binghamton University Dining Services, this brunch made sure everyone went home happy, uplifted and well-fed.

ELECTION 2015Tips to Becoming an Informed Voter

There are just thirteen months left before the Presidential Election of 2016, and there are still many more debates to come. Over the course of these thirteen months many will pledge loyalty to different candidates, parties, and many will swear by every word that comes out of their favorite candidate’s mouth. During election season, it is very important to be an informed voter. In this day and age, journalists with the help of social media can spin a story in any direction they desire. So how do you separate fact from fiction, and which news sources should you trust? If you’re feeling overwhelmed have no fear, with these simple and easy tips you will be on your way to becoming the informed voter you’ve always wanted to be!

Tip #1: DO YOUR RESEARCHThis may seem like the most obvious tip, however many people fail to do just that when choosing election candidates. In order for you to come to an informed decision about which candidate you feel reflects your views the best, it is important that you find out their stance on the big issues. If you want to know a candidates view on a specific issue, without having the candidate’s polls being thrown at you with every click, a good site to check out is: http://www.ontheissues.org/default.htm

Tip #2: FIND AN UNBIASED NEWS SOURCE Certain news sources tend to subtly sway more towards a certain party than another. While researching candidates, it is important to find an unbiased source that reports as much of the facts as possible without trying to subliminally get you to favor one party over the other. Online news sites such as Google, and Yahoo have the tendency to report unbiased news. BBC, The Economist, and NPR are also very unbiased news sources that are known to be trusted by many different groups of voters.

Tip #3: EVALUATE ALL CANDIDATESWhether you categorize yourself as a Liberal, Moderate, or Conservative, it is important that you do not immediately discredit a candidate simply because he or she does not belong to your party. By evaluating all candidates you can help yourself understand an

Culture Chat with Conrad Taylor, Junior Political Science Major and Binghamton City Council Hopeful

This month I interviewed Conrad Taylor, a junior political science major with a passion for driving positive change. He is involved in multiple political organizations and a volunteer at a number of community meals across the City of Binghamton. Given his involvement with the community, it may come as no surprise to learn that Conrad is running for Binghamton City Council. Opposed by those who are more experienced and supported by the students, Conrad is determined

to reach his goals. Here is what he had to say:

Me: What do you study and what are you involved in at Binghamton University?Conrad: I study Political Science. Besides my campaign, I’m involved with the Binghamton University College Democrats, the Progressive Leaders of Tomorrow, the Northside Neighborhood Assembly, and I volunteer at a number of community meals across the City of Binghamton.

Me: How did you come to Binghamton? How did you first get involved with Binghamton University and the surrounding community? Conrad: I first got involved in the surrounding community by working on local campaigns in the area, trying to elect people to local office that I thought could make the biggest difference. It was knocking on doors in our city for these candidates and really digging deep into constituency concerns that made me feel passionate about making a difference in my home. I could see from talking to voters, whether it was on Sturges Street or Bevier Street that they felt underrepresented. I saw that voters felt neglected by their elected officials, and even when they weren’t, nothing got done. I’m excited to be a new kind of councilman; a young, energetic, and passionate voice for every citizen of my district. This is also why my campaign has registered almost 1500 people to vote in Broome County, trying to engage

CULTURE CHATS

more people in government and politics.

Me: If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?Conrad: I’d probably want to go somewhere in Africa. I think that many African cultures are what I have had the least exposure to, so it’d be the most meaningful experience to travel somewhere that I don’t know anything about. Also, it’d be pretty cool to go on a real safari.

Me: What would you tell someone who is thinking is about running for a political office?Conrad: To go for it! Too many people are disenfranchised with government, so the more people that are trying to make a difference in our society, the better. I’d also prompt them to reflect on why they want to run in the first place. Running for office is hard, and some people will dislike you just for doing it, but it will all be worth it as long as you are running to actually make a positive difference.

Me: What does diversity/culture mean to you? What is your personal philosophy on diversity, equity, and inclusion?Conrad: A diverse society is a place where you can find people of different cultures, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds, but it is also a place where these differences strengthen society, not tear it down. My personal philosophy on diversity, equity, and inclusion, is not only to encourage a diverse and inclusive environment, but also to encourage and help people who have had fewer opportunities in life to shine, rise up, and let their voices be heard.

Me: If you had the power, what is one thing you would change about Binghamton University?Conrad: It’d be the negative opinions that many students have of the city of Binghamton. Despite the wonderful things happening in our city, I still hear so many misconceptions about Binghamton from fellow students. It’s the same old, tired clichés every time: there’s nothing to do in Binghamton, Binghamton is ugly, Binghamton is scary. The sad thing is that this negativity originates from on-campus students whose idea of Binghamton is mainly fueled by hearsay or their impressions of our city on State Street late at night. Our city has so much to offer, and I wish more students would explore Binghamton.

Me: Who has inspired you in your life and why?Conrad: My father has inspired me in my life more than anyone. He’s a high school history teacher, and not only is he good at teaching his classes, but he’s also good at teaching his son. He’s actually the reason that I’m so involved in politics and government, bringing me with him to knock on doors for candidates since all the way back in 2008

Tis the season for pumpkin spice, stuffed turkey, football and giant character floats. With seemingly arbitrary traditions, a majority of people are left believing that Thanksgiving is a man-made holiday-- specifically an Americanized holiday. We can go back to our elementary school history books and read the story of how the Plymouth Colonists and Wampanoag Indians peacefully celebrated the successful corn harvest, or look into our college textbooks and read about the lies we were told in elementary school and the “true” imperialistic Thanksgiving story. However, these stories still do not give full explanation for the current traditions Americans uphold. Americans are diversified; each cultural group sharing different morals, and ideals, but on Thanksgiving we are one people. Our traditions of eating until we pass out or heading to the mall for Black Friday shopping may seem absurd to outside cultures but they are traditions that have become universally appreciated by American citizens.

The naming of the holiday “Thanksgiving” can be traced back to 1789 when George Washington issued a Thanksgiving proclamation by the national government of the United States. Americans were asked to express gratitude for the happy conclusion of the United State War of Independence and the successful ratification of the US constitution.

Washington’s successors also followed this tradition but it was not until Abraham Lincoln’s Presidency in 1863 when Thanksgiving was marked as a national holiday. Lincoln called for citizens to ask God to “commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife” and to “heal the wounds of the nation.” From that day on Thanksgiving became a national holiday, taking place on the 3rd Thursday in November. Giving thanks on this day is still a national tradition and the methods of thanks have expanded in unmeasurable directions; whether that be in the

form of volunteering, or simply communication, it is a tradition that Americans will plan to continue for years to come. Allowing time to recognize those that have helped us and support those that need us is something for all to be proud.

A FAMILY DINNER CENTURIES IN THE MAKING

Aside from remembering what we are thankful for and giving with others, Thanksgiving has developed other traditions over the years including food selections. Most main dishes on Thanksgiving consist of turkey. Theories of this staple Thanksgiving food range from claims that a letter from pilgrim Edward Winslow mentioned a turkey during the hunting trip before the meal to others stating Queen Elizabeth received news that a fleet of Spanish ships sunk on their way to England so the Queen ordered another turkey be served. Or, it could have simply been an economic decision, as turkey was a fresh affordable way to feed a crowd. No matter the origin, turkey sales have skyrocketed on Thanksgiving. In addition pies, marshmallows and yams, mashed potatoes and gravy and so many more are found on many tables all over. We have no proof this was on that first thanksgiving feast shared by the Native Americans and Indians but for the first time Americans have a set of meal pairings that we consider to be American. Each culture may add their own twist on the side dishes and additions but it is clear to see that Americans have created a shared ideal even in food choice on Thanksgiving. The football games, the parades, the shopping seems to have amounted from thin air and have less of an explanation than the turkey eating, but again are traditions that Americans have kept up with through the years. Families are able to have the day to create traditions of their own and for the first time these traditions are shared across different races. Football games allow us to cheer and support our beloved teams, parades provide us with positive media in a world of not so positive media and shopping, well just about everyone loves to find a good deal. The traditions were created for different reasons but were maintained because they allow Americans to engage in activities with friends and family that they can make habit of year after year. At the end of the day it is clear that Thanksgiving and even November, as a whole, allows us to say that as Americans we have our own cumulated culture. We may overeat on Thanksgiving, but we are over eating at a table filled with loved ones. We may get up early to shop, but we are doing it to provide a little extra joy to those who fill us with happiness. Thanksgiving has transformed into something unexplainable, but as an American I am proud to have a holiday in which I know families around the country are gathered around their tables, just as mine, and finally take a second to enjoy each other’s company.
