Cultural Events
The Cultural Events Committee’s purpose is to provide entertaining and educational events which work to broaden the cultural horizon of students and staff at Purdue. With Purdue’s diverse campus, we try to provide events that appeal to everyone and educate people about various cultures and traditions. Engaging programs that Cultural Events is known for include: Holidays around the World, Asian Immersion, International Dance-Off, and many others. We also strive to include different cultural organizations in our events to provide a real campus connection to unique cultures. All students take pride in their culture and through this we can unite in diversity.
