One World
One World is all about introducing people and interacting
with different cultures from around the world, ultimately
to achieve understanding and harmony. Members of One
World have found that we all have a lot in common no
matter where
we are from. As Albert Einstein stated, "Peace cannot
be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding" (Albert
Einstein, 1979-1955). The membership of One World is
always changing as different students and faculty come
to TTU
from various parts of the world. We plan exciting adventures
on and off campus, and the invitation to participate is
open to everyone. The experience is really rewarding.
Some of the One World activities include, but are not
limited
to camping, hiking, white water rafting, trips to ethnic
restaurants, shopping, and also international sports,
food, music, and dance events. You are invited to come
to the
meeting and join the group. These events are open to all majors.
