Holi

The OCC campus community came together April 11 for the celebration of Holi. The South Asian festival welcomes spring and symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.

As part of Holi participants are given brightly colored powders to put on themselves, others, or simply throw into the air.

"We have a diverse campus. Celebrating Festivities from different part of the globe is very important so that students have a sense of belonging," said Professor Anisha Saxena who is Faculty Advisor for OCC's South Asia Club. "Students who may not know about the festival or tradition get an opportunity to learn and experience new traditions."
