The ThurtenE Carnival is the oldest and largest student-run carnival in the United States. Each year, the net proceeds from the Carnival are donated to a St. Louis area charity. The Carnival always creates new and exciting memories for all who share in the experience. “Lot Week,” the week leading up to the Carnival, has been declared ThurtenE Carnival Week by the Governor of Missouri. During this week, the Brookings Parking Lot is transformed into a playground for the imagination. The ThurtenE Carnival traditionally attracts well over 80,000 people. This April 11th-13th, the ThurtenE Honorary expects over 100,000 people from both the Washington University and St. Louis community to attend the Carnival. The ThurtenE Carnival brings together over 50 student organizations at Washington University. From Residential Colleges, fraternities, and sororities to religious and ethnic organizations, participation in the Carnival is diverse and abundant. The teamwork of these diverse groups is what brings the Carnival to life. Fraternities and sororities build overwhelming façades and perform original plays for children, while other groups operate carnival games or host a food booth. These efforts contribute to making ThurtenE Carnival a truly unique event.

We’re making St. Louis an even better place to live by connecting our region with greenways so you can be active, get around town and just enjoy being outside. Greenways are outdoor spaces connecting people and places. Ours include paved trails where you can take a walk, go for a run or ride a bike, or just explore and enjoy being outside. Our greenways are all different; some go through your neighborhood, getting you where you need to go. Some follow along a river, so you can exercise or just enjoy the outdoors. Others are full of stories of the history of our region! Greenways can hold great events for our community or programs so you can try something new. The long-term vision for the St. Louis region is called the River Ring, where more than 600 miles of trails will connect communities, bike-friendly streets and transit, and our region’s great rivers and parks in a network of greenways. By creating the River Ring, we’re offering one more way for 2 million residents plus visitors to get around, we’re enhancing our economy and we’re conserving natural resources throughout this 1,200 square mile region. (That’s roughly the size of Rhode Island!) Great Rivers Greenway is a regional parks and trails district created by a vote of the people to connect St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County.
The St. Louis Association of Community Organizations (SLACO) is a coalition of neighborhood associations in the St. Louis metro area. For 35 years SLACO has provided networking and learning opportunities through a signature annual conference and many other events. Sometimes SLACO engages in advocacy when neighborhoods identify a common cause. In addition, SLACO has partnered with developers to provide low- and moderate-income housing. In particular SLACO is active in the West End neighborhood, where it programs a community center.

Frequently Asked Questions Q. So what’s cool about you? A. What’s cool about the ISF is that people from varying cultures find a common ground and manage to work so well together. Our different experiences and ideas give us each something unique to share. Q. What events do you have? A. We have Diversity Awareness Month (November), a whole month jam-packed with great speakers, intellectual debates on the hottest global topics, and cultural shows. The International Banquet (February) is very popular on campus—we’ve had everything from Chinese Lion dances, Irish tap dancing, to Flamenco and Hawaiian dancers. The Billiken World Fair (April) is a colorful parade of nations to celebrate the end of ATLAS week, and the coming of spring! There will be outdoor games and cultural performances. And the awesome food, of course—we've got something from baklava to paella. We also have smaller events/gatherings/private parties scattered throughout the year. Q. Who participates in the ISF? A. All international students automatically become members of the organization, but a lot of American-born students participate and attend our events as well. The ISF serves as an umbrella organization for six other cultural groups on-campus representing: Africa, Asia, Spain, Latin America and the Caribbean. Not only that, but the ISF receives support from independent cultural groups (namely the Black Student Alliance, Filipino Student Association, Indian Asian Student Association, Muslim Student Association, International Business Club). We also collaborate with other campus organizations and academic departments for our huge events. Q. But I’m not an international student! A. Being international doesn’t only mean coming from a different country other than the United States. From the point of view of students from different countries, you’re as international to them as they are to you. This is all about meeting people from all walks of life and sharing your experiences with each other. It’s about learning of a whole new world beyond your comfort zone—and that goes for both me and you! Q. Okay I'm convinced now....how do I join? A. You can be active in the ISF as much as you want to. Participation can range from simply attending our events to actually helping us plan them behind the scenes. Just attend one of our general meetings held on Fridays at 4pm (see calendar for specific dates) at the Cross Cultural Center (Suite 240 in the Busch Student Center). Hope to see you there!
All students can sign up for Home Plate. Ms. Zwerling Wrighton matches the students in groups of 3 to 4 with a local family. The family invites the students to their home for dinner two or three times a year - sometimes more. Many families stay with their students until they graduate - and beyond! Ms. Zwerling Wrighton attempts to match students with families who have similar interests, experiences or backgrounds. We currently have over 300 families participating and around 800 students. Each year new students join as some leave or graduate. In the Spring Chancellor and Mrs. Wrighton host the families and students with a reception at their home.
