NATIONALITY ROOMS FOR

TOURS & SPECIAL EVENTS

Events

      Throughout the year, Quo Vadis puts on several events for the public, as well as many fun opportunities for club members to bond. Our public events often aim to raise money for the club as well as provide the wider community with an opportunity to explore the Nationality Rooms as more than just classrooms! We typically have one major event per season (fall, winter, and spring) and base them around themes such as Halloween in the fall, or tea traditions in the spring. Our largest event is the Nationality Rooms Open House in December, a large festival in the Cathedral of Learning, where we present tours of the Nationality Rooms as well as traditional garb while guests can float between them as they wish. 

      We also run a variety of events for just us year round! Some are more significant, such as our trip to Washington, DC every spring, where we visit embassies and have chances to explore museums; others are more short and sweet, such as powerpoint parties and painting Bob Ross style with our club advisor Michael. Our most regular activity is our weekly jezyks making session, where we hang out and bond while crafting jezyks. These serve as our largest source of income. To learn more about jezyks, check out our Jezyks page!
