Carla Luna-Flores Capstone 2025

Posted by Carla Luna-Flores in Capstone · Pahomov/Ambler/Todd/Spry · Wed on

For my capstone, I aimed to foster cultural exchange between the SLA community and visiting exchange students. Combining my involvement in SOCA, a club I co-founded to celebrate cultural diversity, and my participation in the SLAmbassadors program, which offers cultural immersion experiences to students. I sought to create events that would promote understanding and appreciation of the different cultures that make up SLA. (The only event I don’t have pictures for is the Sports day with the Polish exchange students.)

The first part of my capstone was fundraising. To fundraise I organized a spicy food eating competition with SOCA. In this photo are the SOCA founders and co-presidents hosting the competition. (Carla Luna-Flores and Nora Garg)
