The Multicultural Club is a safe place to celebrate our diverse cultures in a respectful atmosphere and to exchange knowledge about ethnic food, drinks, languages, music, dance, holidays, events, clothing, history, etc. This club is a learning experience where members share their multicultural knowledge about how to make their favorite ethnic food, how to dress in cultural clothes, or learn a new song or dance. If you’re interested in exploring other cultures, this is a great club to learn and make friends! All cultures are welcome!

Students are encouraged to prepare events that display their talents in various genres, video production, dance, and all other forms of media to display their hidden talents in the arts.

The purpose of this student club is to make music in a social environment, network with other musicians and share the power of music with the greater community.

The purpose of the Music Club is to bring together students who appreciate music and those who enjoy making music in many capacities.
