Courier interviews Donna Gasper Jarvis about Sept. 28 Multicultural Music & Dance Festival

Donna Gaspar Jarvis, director of Multicultural Affairs & Diversity Services, was interviewed by the Biddeford-Saco-Old Orchard Beach Courier for a discussion about UNE's multicultural and diversity programs and the upcoming Multicultural Music & Dance Festival that will be held at the Biddeford City Theater on Sept. 28, 2012.

The Courier notes that the festival will feature two award-winning groups, featuring traditional Mexican music, a mariachi band, Cuban and Dominican meringue, Puerto Rican bomba, Columbian dance and salsa.

Gasper Jarvis explains that it will be "a very fun-filled, entertaining and educational show. The event is only $5. That is cheaper and more fun than any movie, concert or event around. The show is appropriate for all ages and we strongly urge everyone to bring their children. Expect one fantastic show."  Read the interview.
