TEXAS, April 13, 2002: For a second time, the University of Texas Hindu Students’ Council has been recognized as the best campus organization. HSC at the University of Texas has done a great job in making the campus aware of Hinduism and the issues affecting Hindus around the world. This year, the organization has put on several programs that have made an impact on campus, including a Diwali Pooja and Navaratri Garba/Raas (which drew over 800 people), a Hindu camp for younger children (to teach children to be proud of their Hindu heritage and culture), movie nights to raise money for Sept 11 victims, SEVA projects, and several programs in support of the Dharma-Life project. HSC has also been part of many cultural programs in coordination with other groups at UT, including ICA (Indian Cultural Association), ISA (Indian Students Association), and TUC (Texas Union Council).
