Diversity has become a key theme during John Brown University’s spring 2022 semester, with the events of Charles Person, a Freedom Rider, coming to campus and the Diversity Symposium which included the International Food Festival. The festival hosted about 12 countries within the Simmons Great Hall as a Mariachi band played boisterously. Despite the harrowing weather during that week, the hall was packed with people, elbow to elbow, getting in lines to try the amazing food prepared by fellow students. Each guest received two blue tickets, allowing them two portions of food unless they opted to buy more tickets for more food.
