Norooz Celebration (Persian New Year)

Norooz, the Persian New Year, is a joyous occasion, celebrated by various ethnic groups worldwide, that symbolizes renewal, cultural richness, and the spirit of togetherness. After a five-year hiatus, we are thrilled to bring this celebration back to campus and share the beauty of Iranian culture with all of you.

The event will feature traditional music, captivating dance performances, a display of Persian art, and, most importantly, a delectable spread of authentic Persian cuisine. In addition to the cultural festivities, we are excited to announce that we will have an authentic Iranian catered lunch, and a delightful assortment of pastries and snacks.
