Holi Festival of Colors
Inspired by the traditions of India, the Global Education Office sponsored a Holi Festival on March 20 to welcome the arrival of spring. Students of all backgrounds and beliefs joined their classmates from Southeast Asia to take part this ancient Hindu festival, which signifies the victory of good over evil, promises healthy and happy new beginnings, and celebrates renewed friendships emerging from the dead of winter. Now that’s something we can all celebrate.
