On Thursday, October 26th, 2023, USHCA hosted its Third Space Story Circle program, in tandem with back-to-school spirit. This Student Event centered around themes such as belonging, identity, and cross-cultural understanding. Now that we are living in a “post-pandemic” world, this Story Circle encouraged students in our community to assess what has changed for them in the past few years and challenge them to consider how international events like a global pandemic can bring us closer together. The event was open to English and Chinese speaking students from all corners of the globe.
