Welcome to the Union of Russian Students at the University of Chicago |
|
 |
Who we are
We are a club of about 20 undergraduate and graduate students who immigrated from former USSR
to study and live in America.
The club's logo speaks both to our diversity of having come from various republics of the
former U.S.S.R and to our commonality of having chosen to study at the bastion of free
intellectual inquiry: The University of Chicago. The flags featured are the current flags
of all the nations which previously made up what was known as the Soviet Union.
In the center is the University of Chicago's official shield.
What we do
We meet every Thursday at 9 o'clock in the evening for "Russian Tea" in the beautiful South Lounge of
of the
Reynolds Club
at the center of the University of Chicago campus. We talk about current events and campus life,
tell jokes, share stories, listen to music and in general enjoy each other's company. In addition to these weekly gatherings we also participate in cultural events at the University of Chicago such as The International Food Festival, and host a variety of special events which include a Karaoke sing-along, Movie night and a Sunday dinner.
