October marks a period of cultural recognition for Italian Americans across the country. During Italian-American Heritage and Culture Month, Italians reminisce and reflect on the accomplishments and accolades of Italian Americans. Simultaneously, Italians use this month to focus on preserving and celebrating their culture. This celebration of culture and lineage is evident within the student community at MSU, specifically the Italian Club. 

“We try to incorporate the language into the meetings that we do to expose people to the language," social relations and policy senior Emily Goschka said. "We also try to teach about the culture through fun and engaging meetings such as game night where we play Italian games or geography night when we teach people about the different regions of Italy and some facts about the regions.”
