"Holi is more than a celebration," said Sai Teja Tandule. "It's a symbol of unity, diversity and the joy of coming together." Tandule is a graduate student studying computer science in 91²Ö¿â's College of Arts and Sciences and is the president of the Kent Indian Association.
"Seeing our members embrace the festival with such enthusiasm and love was truly heartwarming," he said. Enriching the educational experience through celebrating diversity is an important part of 91²Ö¿â's values and culture. It's how the university grows as a global community, bonded by respect.
"It's events like these that remind us of the importance of community and making memories that last a lifetime," said Tandule. "I'm already looking forward to next year's celebration and the opportunity to share it with an even wider audience through 91²Ö¿â Today."
Holi celebrates the triumph of good over evil in the victory of Vishnu (a Hindu deity) over Hiranyakashipu (a demon) and also celebrates the arrival of spring.
Students and staffers in University Culinary Services added a pop of color to campus with their "epic" Holi celebration in the DI Hub.
