Kosrae Campus Participated in Kosrae State’s Cultural Festivities

Tofol, Kosrae (April 6, 2017) - In an effort to raise funds for the college’s Endowment Fund, students, staff and faculty at Kosrae Campus took part in the state’s annual Cultural Day festivities. The Campus Events Committee took lead in coordinating the preparations for the float competitions and exhibitions.

Three trucks were decorated with items contributed from students, staff and faculty of the college. One truck consisted of a variety of marine products and resources, including a local canoe contributed by one faculty member. Another truck was stocked with all sorts of agricultural produces and ornamental handicrafts.   A final truck was used to dramatize a traditional communication system within a Kosraean family that portrays respect among members of the family.

Everyone worked together as a team during the preparations, especially in contributing items for the float competitions. Kosrae Campus came in fifth in the float competitions with a monetary award of $ 500.00.  An additional $150.00 was also collected from sales of marine and agricultural products.
