From 3 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Brazos Park, students can participate in crafts, visit with animals at a petting zoo and enjoy a pop-up pumpkin patch at a fall festival. <\/p>\n

Hosted by Global Engagement, the event is a celebration of a new season and the culture that is attached to the fall season across multiple countries, said Adesuwa Elohor Idehen, Global Engagement student administrative assistant. From Pakistan to South Korea, many cultures hold festivals during the season. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn some cultures, fall is nothing too significant; it\u2019s just a change in the weather,\u201d Idehen said. \u201cBut for some cultures, it\u2019s more significant, like in Korea, where they celebrate Chuseok.\u201d <\/p>\n

She said that by hosting this event, Global Engagement is attempting to educate students about the autumn season across different cultures. <\/p>\n

Attendees will be able to paint fans and diyas and make bracelets, Idehen said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we can understand other people\u2019s cultures, we can tend to be more tolerant and respectful, and it\u2019s just more peaceful for everyone involved,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Several desserts will be available, like cupcakes and pumpkin spice mocktails, Idehen said. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just a time for students to enjoy not just the fall but understand the significance of it in different cultures,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
