October 9th through the 15th is Bring Your Culture to Work Week. Clearly we would be serving the interests of UPMC if we brought our culture into work.

-Hold a recipe contest for staff to bring in family recipes

"Energon cube, anyone? This one is made from hydroelectric power."
"Too boring for me, this sucker's nuclear Energon."

-Attend a foreign film

12 STRAIGHT HOURS OF DBZ!

-Attend a cultural performance, event, or exhibit with a group.

This one might be tricky, considering that it might be hard to promote a joint ER/Medical Records movie viewing. Still, no one can argue that viewing Transformes: The Movie would be an intense and moving introduction to our culture.

- Tour the University of Pittsburgh's Nationality Rooms.

"Sirs, please stop insisting that mecha be added as a separate display room... No, we are not oppressing your culture, it's just that... No, sirs, we do NOT have a Mushroom Kingdom room!"

-Wear cultural attire representing your ethnicity

"No. SOUND. The forehead protector symbol means I'm a *Sound* ninja!"

...You've aleady got this one covered, just wear a short-sleeved shirt.

-Create a display of flags from around the world

"They probably meant Earth."
"Screw that and fix the Iacon flag, it's crooked."

-Play music from different cultures throughout the day

"Wait, explain to me again what the hell 'the Touch' is?"
"Aaagh, you'll never get it. I'm switching to the "Closer" Mario remix."

- Share with coworkers how to say "hello," "please," "thank you," and "goodbye" in different languages.

"BAH WEEP GRAA NA WEEP NINNY BONG!"
"Bah weep graa na weep ninny bong?"
"BAH WEEP GRAA NA WEEP NINNY BONG!"
"BAH WEEP GRAA NA WEEP NINNY BONG!"
