ASEC Member Spotlight: The Students' Association of NorQuest College Taste of Diversity
February 24 | NorQuest College
The Taste of Diversity event, hosted by the Students’ Association of NorQuest College (SANQC), is without a doubt one of the biggest events held on campus Over 550 students enjoying food, culture and community from a variety of nations around the world.
This event has become a popular campus tradition that celebrates the rich diversity of NorQuest’s student body by offering free food, desserts, and drinks from cultures around the world. This term’s event was particularly meaningful as it was part of our Black History Month event series, highlighting the cuisines and cultures of several African and Caribbean communities. Students had the opportunity to try dishes from countries such as Nigeria, Jamaica, Kenya, and Ethiopia, creating an immersive cultural experience that went beyond just food.
It took over 20 student volunteers, Students’ Council members and SANQC staff to bring Taste of Diversity to life, organizing and serving food throughout the event. Their collaboration helped create a welcoming and vibrant environment where students could connect, learn about different cultures, and celebrate diversity on campus.
“This event is always my favorite of the semester. It’s amazing how food and drinks can truly bring a community of people together, especially for those who are already sharing a journey together as post-secondary students.”
— Khoi Nguyen, Marketing Coordinator
“The Atrium turned into a cultural food hub with delicacies from different countries. It’s always amazing to be a part of the Taste of Diversity event and see students share, taste and celebrate cultures through food!”
— Prashant Virdi, Campus SafeWalk Administrator
