The African American Student Union will be hosting Caribbean Night: Jamaican Style on Wednesday with funding and support from Associated Students Inc. The event will be held Wednesday, May 28 at 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Solario Patio.
The AASU Vice President Linda Forrester, 22, business marketing major, said, “I feel like this event is so students can know what [Jamaican] food is like, what the music is like. There are other cultures here outside of Bakersfield.”
The AASU asked ASI $1,310.09 for funding for their event with $220 in rental charges, $658.09 for food and catering and $432 for supplies.
The event is expected to receive more than 60 students.
ASI meetings are held every Friday at 3:15 p.m. in the Student Union Multipurpose room.
