NMC will host their annual Holi celebration on Tuesday, March 19. Holi is a Hindu festival that originated in India but is now celebrated in different communities all over the world. Holi is a time for people of all backgrounds to come together and celebrate the triumph of good over evil and the new changes that spring brings!
The celebration begins with a Lunch & Learn session at 12:45 p.m. in room 106/107 of the Timothy J. Nelson Innovation Center. NMC Religions professor Sarah Montgomery-Richards will give a presentation about tradition of Holi celebrations. Jim Bensley from International Services will discuss the NMC Global Endorsement and study abroad opportunities and Alex Walsh, of NMC’s Multicultural Student Club, will talk about the Persian festival of Nowruz.
Lunch will be provided compliments of the Hawk Owl Café, who will be serving Indian cuisine. Attendees should stop by room 106/107 during 12:15–12:40 p.m. to get their meal ticket before picking up their lunch.
Color-throwing will follow the Lunch & Learn at 1:30 p.m. in the Cherry lot.
This event is open to the community and all ages are welcome.
