University of Scranton senior education major Maggie Coyne of Stony Point, N.Y., believes one of the most important lessons a child can learn is that people are all amazingly similar – despite regional or cultural differences. It was this idea that propelled Coyne and a group of about 20 other Scranton students to volunteer to help create “Glocalize: Globally Inspired, Locally Made.” The multicultural exhibit is now on display at Timmy’s Town Center at The Mall at Steamtown in downtown Scranton.
