Multi-Cultural Night at the Mount!

On Friday, November 20th the 8th annual Multicultural Night took place at the Mount. The theme this year was “One tribe, One people, One world”. This was my first year going to it, and I had a BLAST. The event was in the MPR (Multi-Purpose Room) and it was all decorated in all the different flags. It was really cool because there was 4 different food stations set up: Thailand, Africa, Mexico, and Mediterranean. Each one was set up like a buffet and had a couple different meal options at each one. The plates they gave you were smaller, so that you could actually taste something from all. It was cool seeing what people ate from different parts of the world and how it differed from how I normally eat (aka: chicken fingers and fries)! The picture above is actually my meal from the Thailand Booth, note how I tried to make it look super pretty for you guys!

After dinner, there were 13 performances from cultures all over the world – including our lovely own east coast culture. There was some signing, dancing (hip-hop & traditional), a motivational speaker & drumming. And then the fun kept going! The after party took place in Vinnie’s, our own campus pub.

With all the violence and war in the world these days, it was really awesome to see everyone together in one big room like a big family and celebrate unity at the Mount. At the Mount we have students from over 60 different countries. And it doesn’t matter what country you’re from, what language you speak or who you are; because when you’re at the Mount: your family & it feels like home.

Next year, don’t miss your opportunity to attend this event. Buy your tickets early because it’s worth every penny. I guarantee you.

Until next time, see you! :)
