Independence Day Celebration
|
What unites us, in the face of diversity, is the one common home we come from, the motherland whose children we are, the flag to which we pledge our primary allegiance.
And that allegiance was pledged once more, on the 63rd anniversary of Indian Independence, by more than 150 people in the little alcove called E F Hutton Park. The occasion was graced by the presence of Dean Varun Soni, Dean of Religious Life at USC, who hoisted the flag and addressed the student body. |
The Association of Indian Students welcomes any student who would like to help us out in our events as Senators or volunteers. If you wish to make a difference, come join us and be part of the change!!!
