Students invited to Diversity Carnival
Community, faculty, administration and students are invited to let diversity “be in you” as the Utah State University Multicultural Student Association celebrates the fourth annual Diversity Carnival on Friday, Oct. 24. The carnival is from 5 to 10 p.m. on the second floor of the Taggart Student Center. Admission is free.
“It’s not just about cultural, ethnic diversity,” said Angie Hammond, Associated Students of Utah State University campus diversity vice president. “From the Disability Resource Center being involved, to the International Student Council and the Pride Alliance, we have really tried to include everyone. Diversity means a lot more than just race, nationality and gender.”
The carnival will feature booths representing each multicultural student organization as well as the Resident Housing Student Association and Utah State Women’s Center. Various religious organizations will also have booths. Live performances will be presented every 15 minutes, from poetry readings to Polynesian dancers.
