Language, tradition, rhythm and Walla Walla all meet in the Southern African dance of Gumboot. Led by senior International student from Southern Africa Thabo Liphoto, approximately ten Whitman students have gathered to perform this unique dance at events on and off campus.
When talking about Whitman, it's hard to avoid the resounding stereotype that the school has little cultural diversity. However, sophomore Phuong Le, president of the Beyond Borders Club, is hoping to change that misconception with the third annual InterNation Celebration, which will be held on Saturday, Feb. 8 in the Reid Ballroom from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
