“Just getting to meet new people,” said CCC sophomore Jose Millord. “I think that’s part of the main thing, getting to meet new people, new diversities and all that.”

Another student, Richard Harper added, “It’s always a good time to be around all these beautiful people celebrating culture, and raising awareness of everyone’s culture, their ideas, their passions, and their hobbies at this institution.”
