In the Spring of 1990, the Gamma Omicron chapter of the National Slavic Honor Society – Dobro Slovo – was established on the Oxford campus. Inductions are held annually and the membership currently numbers just over 200.

Every year the Russian program students who has completed Russian 300 level and demonstrated outstanding academic achievements go through the induction ceremony of Dobro Slovo.

Russian cuisine is nourishing and as various as Russia itself. There are numerous dishes made of dough such as pies, cakes, rolls, blini, etc. as well as unleavened dough, including dumplings and homemade noodles. Being a country of Orthodox Christian religion which implies numerous fasts, Russian cuisine offers a great number of vegetarian dishes including mushrooms, pickles etc. The Russian culinary palette is also rich in meat, poultry and fish dishes which are served on various occasions. Join us at hands-on workshops to experience unique cuisine.

Every year the students of the Russian program take part in Ole Miss International Culture Festival where they share Russian culture: teach basic phrases in Russian, cook traditional Russian sweets "blini' (pancakes) and "pryaniki" (gingerbread), take pictures in traditional costumes, etc.
