\u201cThe evening was a showcase of the talents and cultures of our students,\u201d said Ajay Nathan, MS, BUSM \u201922, one of the event co-organizers. \u2018Every diversity group was involved this year as we tried to make the event a learning opportunity for our students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to each of the 11 performances, the show\u2019s hosts Tremearne Hotz, BUSM \u201922, and Kaleb Mikami, BUSM \u201922, gave the background of the particular performance and its significance to the culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to highlight the diversity of our students and educate attendees so that they would leave having been both fed and entertained while also learning more about each other,\u201d said co-organizer Jarrett Bumidang, BUSM \u201922.<\/p>\n

The event was sponsored by the Asian Pacific Medical Student Association, Christian Medical Dental Association, Latino Medical Student Association, Maimonides Society, South Asian Medical Student Association and the Student National Medical Association, with funding from SCOMSA, the Office of Diversity & Inclusion and the BUSM Wellness Initiative.<\/p>\n
