TACOMA, WA  Students and staff of Bates Technical College invite the community to celebrate the 14th annual Global Heritage Celebration on Friday, June 5 from 9:30 am to 11:30 am in the auditorium of the college’s South Campus, 2201 S. 78th Street in Tacoma. 

Showcasing music and acts with origins across the globe, this year’s theme, Rhythms of the World, speaks to the many cultures that are an integral part of our region.  “We invite the community to travel with us from Celtic to the traditional Japanese, from Spanish music to the beat of Latin jazz,” says Kathy Flores, College Diversity Center Coordinator.  “This year’s celebration brings rhythms from around the world to our community, helping to expand our global perspective and increase our appreciation of cultures through music.”

The event, free and open to the public, begins at 9:30 a.m.  For further information on this event, call Bates’ Diversity Center, 253.680.7113.
