Metropolitan International University is delighted to announce the forthcoming Cultural Gala 2024 on Thursday, 19th October 2024! The theme for this year’s event, “Unity in the Diversity,” epitomizes the spirit of our vibrant community; we can’t wait to celebrate this together. Organized by the Office of the Dean of Students, the event will be a kaleidoscopic and interactive presentation of our diverse cultures, ranging from traditional folk dances and songs to poems and much more.
It is not only a gala but a great opportunity to unite all the students, staff members, and faculty coming from different backgrounds, which can ensure better harmony amongst themselves, simultaneously helping in the richness of diversity to make this university special. Therefore, it would provide an opportunity for participants to express themselves through diversified representative cultural backgrounds, traditions, and hidden talents promoting cross-cultural learning and appreciation.
