When talking about Oceania, if Australia and New Zealand are what is all in your mind, it is time to think twice, and to think beyond. The Office of Student Affairs is going to organize the first ever Oceania Festival on campus this month, offering a good opportunity to experience the vibrant Oceanian cultures from different, new perspectives. From Australia and New Zealand to the Pacific wonderlands including Guam, Hawaii and Fiji, from cultural booths to workshops and cultural sharing, there will be plentiful ways to discover the wonders of Oceania.
