Students celebrate cultural diversity
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on the 2002 Culture Show and the groups, planning and attendance connected to it.
- The paper reported that the CultureFest committee held its annual Culture Show in Shriver Auditorium on Nov. 9 as part of Culture Week, which ran from Nov. 7 to Nov. 16.
- The article says the event’s theme was “One love, One heart, Let's Get together and Feel Alright,” a Bob Marley quote chosen by co-chair Connie Everett to reflect unity.
- The reporter writes that the show featured groups including Egyptian Sun Productions, Sigma Omicron Pi, Lambda Phi Epsilon, the Filipino Students’ Association and the Caribbean Culture So ciety.
- The paper reported that auditions took place in early October, with performances limited to five minutes except for one collaboration, and that groups could not use profanity.
