Cultural festival to light CAW Student Centre

Lights, excitement and culture are on offer Friday as the International Student Society presents the Festival of Lights, starting at 6:30 p.m. in the CAW Student Centre Commons.

The event is a multicultural celebration, featuring music and dance performances, as well as food and drink from many lands.

“It is this time of the year that every student feels explicitly grateful for being part of one of the more diverse campuses in North America,” says Shruthi Kubatur, the society’s vice-president administration.

She anticipates that the thumping beats of the Punjabi Bhangra, the rhythms of the Bangladeshi band, and the enticing floor beat echoes of the Egyptian and Chinese dances alone will be enough to help attendees find the event.
