鈥淲e started the club last semester,鈥 Ann Delva, president of the Caribbean Students Association, said. 鈥淲e are mostly trying to get new members, create new events and keep growing.鈥
According to Delva, the student organization鈥檚 objective is to bring people together and exhibit the Caribbean culture to Stockton students. The organization also serves as a platform for Caribbean students to create a community by connecting with one another and their heritage.
Jasmine Jourdain, the secretary of the organization, expressed that community building is the core of what the club offers to members, saying that it is 鈥渞eally about inclusivity.鈥
Meetings will have fun topics and members will not only experience what the Caribbean Students Association is like but will also get a chance to experience other clubs as well through collaborations with others throughout the semester.
