The international ministry of Baylor Student Min- istries organized the event, the first of their bi-monthly Culture Nights. Students sat on the floor in groups, eating traditional Texan food as country music played over the speakers. Red, white and blue streamers hung from the walls. Meggaen Neely, a Lake Jack- son freshman, welcomed the group with a “Howdy, y’all!” She then went on to explain the Texan lingo used in her greet- ing, as well as Texan rodeos and Texan pride. Neely said she wanted to get involved in the BSM’s international ministry when she heard about it. “I really love cultures and I always have,” Neely said. She said she wanted to meet people from different countries and make new friends. Many of the international students at the ministry have been in Texas for under a month. Becky Robertson, the international ministry coordinator for Baylor Student Ministries, said she understands the culture shock they feel. She grew up in the African Ivory Coast as the daughter of missionaries and moved to the United States to attend Baylor. “International students are all kind of in the same boat. They’re here, outside of everything that they know,” Robertson said. “Culture Nights are part of the larger picture of really going out of our way to make them feel welcome.” If you’re looking for direction in your career, just read the signs. Megan McNerny, a Dayton, Ohio sophomore, taught the They’ll tell you we’ve created an environment that’s conducive students how to line dance.

Qiu Yue, a graduate student from China, said she had seen line dancing before, but never actually tried it. “My hometown doesn’t have this type of dancing,” Yue said. Ariel Alexander, a Córdoba, Argentina, sophomore, is in charge of the Culture Nights for the BSM this year, and she said she thinks the dancing helped loosen the students up. “Usually when people come here they’re separated into groups already, but when everyone is learning something new, they have that shared vulner- ability,” Alexander said. She said it’s important for Baylor students to get the word out about the ministry to international students they know. “They can meet new people, eat new foods. It’s just a good place to broaden your mind,” Alexander said. She said she was pleased with the turnout for Texas Night, but she would like to see even more diversity in the future.
