P.E.A.C.E. Flag Raising

The Hall conducts early morning Flag Raising Ceremonies in recognition and celebration of the independence of various countries. 

At these ceremonies, students get the opportunity to learn about the culture of the particular country being celebrated, through the singing of its anthem, presentations by cultural emissaries representing the country, printed material displayed on the country, and the sampling of traditional foods.

These ceremonies create a sense of home and revived nationalism for resident students who are away from their countries for the academic year.

If the date of the independence falls on a weekend, the Flag Rasing Ceremony is hosted on the Friday prior to the date. If the independence falls during the holiday period when students are not in Hall, the Flag raising Ceremony is hosted at a convenient date as agreed upon with the Student Association from that country. In the case of Trinidad & Tobago, we celebrate Republic Day.
