Marietta College will host its annual Celebration of Cultures from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 10, on Harrison Lawn.
Organized by the Office of Student Connections and Outreach in partnership with Brother 2 Brother, Black Student Union, United Women of Power, Multicultural Club, Global Connections, International Student Union, LGBTQ+ Activism, and CSHO Fellows, the annual event offers an opportunity to celebrate the depth and diversity of the Marietta College campus community.
Designed as a chance to relax and recharge ahead of final exams, Celebration of Cultures will feature a variety of activities, including music, games, a sidewalk chalk contest, henna tattoos, raffle prizes, boba tea, and food. The evening invites students to connect with friends, unwind, and enjoy an engaging campus tradition.
“The Celebration of Cultures reflects Marietta College’s deep commitment to fostering an inclusive campus where every student feels a sense of belonging and connection,” said Tony Mayle, associate dean of students and director of Student Connections and Outreach. “Through the collaboration of our student organizations and the Office of Student Connections and Outreach, this event creates space for all students to celebrate their identities, build community, and recharge as they approach the end of the semester.”
Held each spring, the Celebration of Cultures reflects Marietta College’s commitment to creating an inclusive, supportive community where students feel at home. By bringing together a wide range of student organizations and activities, the event highlights the cultures, traditions, and spirit that enrich campus life.
In the event of rain, the event will be held at the Barbara Diggs Lyles House. For more information about the Marietta College Celebration of Cultures, visit marietta.edu/event/celebration-cultures.
