SU holds Multicultural Festival

Salisbury University is wrapping up the Spring semester with their 20th annual Multicultural Festival Day. This event featured some of the 46 different cultural groups on campus. There was an arrangement of colorful tables, foods, a band from Colombia, South America, and a steel-drum group from Philadelphia that set the mood for hundreds of students and faculty.

47ABC spoke with Vaughn White, the Director of the Multicultural Student Services Office, who was ecstatic about the students taking action on current events like raising donations towards the Nepal Relief. Vaughn mentioned that the students are supportive of voicing their opinions on some of the issues we have here today and also that “The good thing about it is that we have clubs and organizations that deal with those issues on a regular basis.”

Bryan Horikami, Chair and Associate Professor of Communications at SU, had his class set up an Asian theme featuring Japan and Vietnamese Culture as a part of the  festivities. They provided kimonos for students to wear.

The NAACP chapter of SU will be getting together to help clean up West Baltimore this weekend.
