The office of Global Engagement at the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï hosted the annual Valentine’s Day cookie decorating last Monday in Wilson Hall.

This event aimed to get students to express love by decorating a cookie for their favorite person.  Students had a variety of choices to decorate the cookies. There were sprinkles, pearls, heart-shaped figures, and red and pink frosting. The event demonstrated that love can be expressed in different forms and gestures.

“Valentine’s Day is a big part of the United States culture,” said Julia Spellman, cross-cultural engagement graduate assistant. “It’s an international holiday, but a big thing for the states. Being able to come in and make a sweet treat, you can bring one for your friends, or just eat one yourself.”
