Hampton University News October 31, 2016 Cuban Week' at Hampton University was a Huge Success Hampton, VA - From mambo dancing to a Cuban movie night, "Cuban Week" was a culturally enriching experience for students at Hampton University. "This was a wonderful week for me," said Outbound Programming Specialist at Hampton University, Samaria Haysbert. "Cuban Week" was made possible through a grant from the Andrew Mellon Foundation which sought to help HBCU's participate in global citizenship. "This was not only the first grant that I wrote, it was the grant that directly followed the charge of Dr. William R. Harvey to create Cuban exchange," said Haysbert. "Cuban Week" aimed to inform students of the relationship between the U.S. and Cuba, introduce students to having Cuban exchange and inform faculty about what they can do to work with the International Office, Cuban government and Cuban institutions of higher education.
