Thurtene Carnival “This is a student-planned carnival for the St. Louis community. Aside from the food and games, student organizations build ‘facades.’ These are major construction projects that are built completely by students. Members of the groups then perform a play inside the facade for kids in the community. Building the facades is incredibly fun, and it is actually how I became friends with all of my current roommates!”
Diwali Show “The annual Diwali show is put on by Ashoka, WashU’s South Asian Society, to celebrate the festival of lights. Going to see my roommates, friends, and classmates perform with their dance teams and a cappella groups is one of the highlights of my semester. I’m always impressed by the production value of the show, something they have prepared for the whole semester, as well as the incredible energy in the audience.” Eddie, Class of 2021
