Oftentimes, being in university means forgetting about your hobbies and not having enough time to practice what you love. With that being said, this event is aimed at showcasing the various talents (dancing, singing, painting, photography, etc.) that students in the STEM field rarely get to demonstrate and to re-emphasize the importance of maintaining these interests as an active aspect of our lives.
