Baylor College of Dentistry's annual Festival of Cultures is set for Feb. 3-7. Sponsored by the college's Welcoming Diversity Committee, the festival features a photo contest, guest speakers,
ethnic luncheon and entertainment.
The Rev. La Fayette Holland, associate pastor of outreach at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, is the featured speaker during the festival's opening ceremony Feb. 3 at noon. He will offer a
historical perspective of African-Americans in Dallas and the nation.
The Ethnic Celebration Luncheon will present potluck culinary delights on Feb. 5 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the sixth floor. Luncheon participants are asked to bring a dish that reflects
their cultural heritage. Note: A warming oven and outlets will be available to keep hot foods hot; however, time constraints prevent heating cold or frozen foods.
