Diwali Celebrations - 11/02/2005  

On Wednesday, November 2, 2005 the College of Engineering hosted a Diwali Celebration. Diwali is colloquially known as the "festival of lights", for the common practice is to light small oil lamps (called diyas) and place them around the home, in courtyards, verandahs, and gardens, as well as on roof-tops and outer walls. The event was open to all students, faculty, staff, family and friends of the College of Engineering. Those who attended enjoyed an evening of dancing, music, movies, nice pizza, sparklers and other party favors.
