Peninsula Dental School Cultural and Diversity Evening
“James and I organised the first Cultural Evening on behalf of Peninsula Dental School because we felt that there are so many cultures and traditions among the school’s students and staff. We have been very fortunate to study with students of all ethnicities and backgrounds, and the event was a showcase of this, as it allowed students to convey their traditions and talents to their peers away from a formal setting. During the evening, foods, music and dance from students were enjoyed by faculty members and students across all years. Looking into the future, we hope to continue this as a tradition that is unique to the Peninsula Dental School at the University of Plymouth.”
