Soul Food Dinner: Then & Now

Hosted by the Black Student Union, the Soul Food Dinner is a vibrant cultural gathering that celebrates the richness, continuity, and evolution of Black identity through the theme “Then & Now.” Join us for an evening honoring African-American culinary traditions, community roots, and present-day leadership.

Enjoy a full meal featuring classic soul food dishes—starters, main course, and dessert—served in a welcoming environment. The dinner is more than just a meal; it’s an opportunity to connect, reflect, and engage in meaningful dialogue about culture, heritage, and unity. Throughout the evening, enjoy dynamic performances that highlight the spirit and creativity of our community.

Come together to appreciate the flavors, stories, and traditions that have shaped generations, and celebrate who we are today!
