International Day of Peace celebrated with music and poetry
From Northeast to Southeast, Metro to West, students and faculty gathered from all corners of town to observe International Day of Peace at the Southeast campus on Sept. 22. The International Day of Peace was designated by the United Nations to promote peace, non-violence, and ceasefires and is observed annually on or around Sept. 21. The day at the college was commemorated with live music, poetry reading, a peace bridge, and even giveaways. The event brought together people from different backgrounds to celebrate peace and work toward creating a world of peace.
