An ELI custom is to celebrate students' birthdays with delicious treats. This week, we had an ice cream social in Ignatius Hall to celebrate not 1, not 2, but 3 birthdays which happened to fall on the same date! Our new students from Argentina enjoyed their Neapolitan ice cream cones, chocolate syrup, and colorful sprinkles, and we enjoyed hearing them sing "Happy Birthday" in both Spanish and English. As you can see, birthday celebrations play a large part in the culture of our community. We'll find any excuse to celebrate the special personalities and accomplishments of our students-- and to eat ice cream and cake! :)
