Celebrating Diversity: The Griot Institute Opening Event

The Griot Institute held an opening event to welcome the Bucknell community into the new academic year. The welcome back celebration featured drummers and dancers from the Soul in Motion African Dance and Ensemble. The event kicked off with a performance from the Bisonettes Dance Team, a highlight about Griot 2021-2022 events, and an update from the Griot sponsors. On this beautiful day, the science quad was filled with excellent music, cultural dances and lively conversations among everyone who attended the event. After enjoying good food and drinks, there was a Griot giveaway of bags, t-shirts and books at the end of the program. One of the cosponsors for the event, the diversity and inclusion office, was there to provide information about diversity and inclusion events happening on campus. This event was a great opportunity for students, faculty, staff and the lewisburg community to learn and experience other cultures. The Griot Institute will continue to have other events and diversity initiatives on campus throughout the year.
