On November 9th, the Global Scholar Program\u2019s Advisory Council hosted \u201cConstellation: A Culture Show\u201d with help from the BLI Small Grant. As a part of the event, individuals from the community performed cultural dances, sang, played instruments, gave cultural presentations, and performed comedy routines. In addition to performance-based representations of different cultures, we also displayed photography and art, played multicultural music, constructed a photo booth, and hired a henna artist. Furthermore, we had individuals who came to the event write their name, fun memory, or tidbit on pre-cut stars and place them on a \u201cconstellation\u201d. Additionally, we also provided cultural dishes and desserts from various restaurants around Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti.<\/p>\n

Constellation was a night in which people from all different backgrounds and cultures were able to come together and celebrate. It provided not only a space for people to showcase their own customs and cultures but was a space for people to learn about the cultures of the individuals around them.<\/p>\n

Constellation provided a space for people to come together to celebrate our cultural differences and our multicultural university community. With over 250 people attendance, we were able to come together as a diverse community to celebrate ourselves, our heritage, and our diverse experiences.<\/p>\n
