A one shot connection among students of different cultures will leave an impression, but a sustained experience builds relationships and can transform individuals.

I will pass your good ideas around.

Or if we worked better to support the connections and relationships that begin during the week of JAZZ in the summer?

Or even a follow-up to RAP?

I think that we do a LOT of one time cool events, but we could just follow-up and somehow nurture the relationships a bit more.
