Virtual Festival of Nations - Share a Video with Us!

Festival of Nations is a cherished tradition for our campus community where students have the opportunity to showcase their native and family countries' culture and heritage through food, informational poster boards, traditional wear, and interactive activities. With that sentiment in mind, we still want to offer that opportunity to our Scranton community.
