&lt;br/&gt;The idea behind Pangea Day is that we are all still ONE HUMAN RACE, and on Saturday, we can be unified with millions our global neighbors in the viewing of 24 short films from all over the world.&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;The films will be simulcast from 1pm to 4pm, and we will stream them on our big ol&#8217; screens in the classrooms.  HOWEVER, before and after the films, we will have a P.A. set up for an open mic in the student lounge.  Furthermore, we&#8217;re making this a pot luck.  Please feel free to bring a dish, snack, dessert, or non-alcoholic drink to share.&lt;br/&gt;
