The Autumn Asian Festival hosted by UNCG’s International Global Studies was a great way for Montagnard young women to introduce their new club and community.
The Health and Science Club is directed by Dr Jigna Dharod and includes college and high school students from Guilford College, Guilford Technical Community College, and Page High School. Through the club young women build confidence, teach one another, and promote community health.

As Greensboro transforms into a multicultural, multi-ethnic
society, turning strangers into neighbors becomes a key task.
