CELOP students, faculty, and staff recently celebrated the Kuwaiti National Day with music, a question and answer session, and cupcakes and gifts.  Not only was the lobby decorated with Kuwaiti flags and colors, but students and staff wore scarves, lapels, and makeup with Kuwaiti colors, and some adorned t-shirts proclaiming “Proud to be Kuwaiti”, “Smile! I’m Kuwaiti” and “I’m not crazy! I’m Kuwaiti”.  It was a festive and lively atmosphere. Shelley Bertolino, CELOP’s Student Life Coordinator, said about the event “It was great fun.  It’s always nice when students share their culture with classmates of other countries.”

Kuwaiti National Day and Liberation Day are celebrated every 25th and 26th day of February.
