"It’s nice to go to community roots and talk to people that are more informed than you, less informed than you…and they make it fun too. Social justice doesn’t have to be boring."

Students came together this December to show their roots, celebrating diversity and culture to help unite the student body. The showcase included activities that incorporated audience members as well as several exciting cultural performances - not to mention food and fellowship!
