It brings together a plethora of different cultures represented on campus (which promotes integration among the cultures), and fosters a positive social dynamic among LI and Lawrence community members.
A Cabaret is a unique event that promotes an understanding of diversity in Lawrentians and members of the greater community. Many students from numerous countries prepare for months to participate and get a chance to show their cultures.
Any student can participate in any performance and can join the fashion show to represent their own or another country.
Every year, faculty members, friends families, their children, and other community members participate and get a first-hand glimpse of other cultures.
