A joint CCW/CAAA (Cornell Asian Alumni Association) event.

Join fellow CCW/CAAA members and guests at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History for a docent led tour of "Beyond Bollywood: Indian Americans Shape the Nation" on October 25, 2014.

We will first meet for lunch at Aroma in DC at 1:00 PM. After lunch we will head over to the National Museum of Natural History for a 45 minute docent led tour of "Beyond Bollywood: Indian Americans Shape the Nation" that will begin at 3:00 PM.

The exhibition explores the heritage, daily experience and numerous, diverse contributions that Indian immigrants and Indian Americans have made to shaping the United States.

 

The tour will take place two days after Diwali (festival of lights), which signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil and hope over despair.  

 

Please note that participants bear their own costs for lunch and while the event is free or you pay your own, we will need an approximate head count for the restaurant so they can accommodate our group.  And to be considerate, please let us know if you end up having to cancel.
