More than 20 student organizations will gather together to celebrate diversity at Â鶹´«Ã½'s Cultural Explosion on March 27.
The campus-wide event, presented by the Office of Intercultural Relations, is designed to showcase cultural and Monarch pride.
Organizations will present seven-minute performances including cultural dances; spoken word; skits; video-theme presentations; and musical renditions. Monetary prizes are to be awarded in various categories.
Between presentations will be three-minute "cultural expressions" including Zumba® African HEAT, by Rita Cohen; Old Dominion student spoken word performances; Latin dance by student organization, WEPA; and Dynasty Dance Team.
"This is an opportunity for students to celebrate diversity," said Lesa Clark, executive director for Â鶹´«Ã½'s Office of Intercultural Relations. "It's through events like this that they are expressing what it means to be a Monarch."
Cultural Explosion is from 6- 9p.m. in the Big Blue Room of the Ted Constant Convocation Center.
The event and food are free and open to the public.
