The entire Suffolk University community will come together as one during the annual Unity Week festivities, Monday, Feb. 29, through Saturday, March 5.

“I value that Suffolk has dedicated a week focused on unity and coming together,” said sophomore Phyliss St-Hubert. “This year has a variety of different events and it means so much that students are the driving force behind the programs.”

Unity Week is Suffolk University’s annual celebration of diversity and community. It is a collaborative effort by students, faculty, and administrators and has traditionally consisted of entertainment, speakers, dialogue, open classes, food, and music designed to challenge, connect and celebrate the community.

“Unity Week is exciting because the clubs and organizations on campus are so unique and provide incredible opportunities,” said Yamileh Dure, a student leadership and involvement graduate fellow. “This is a chance for students to have a glimpse of what many of them have to offer.”

“What makes Unity Week so special is that it’s student-driven, which is apparent from the programs that are offered throughout the week,” said Alexandra Paterson, associate director of the Office of Student Leadership & Involvement.
