ATSU’s Mesa campus celebrates Diwali 2024

A.T. Still University’s Mesa, Arizona, campus celebrated Diwali, the festival of light, on Friday, Nov. 1, when students, staff, and faculty came together to share snacks and sweets and learn different forms of art, including a dance performance.

Organized by ATSU-Arizona School of Health Sciences (ATSU-ASHS) Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology assistant professor Malathy Venkatesh, PhD, CCC-SLP, and ATSU’s Diversity Enrichment in Education Committee (DEEC), the Diwali celebration served as an opportunity for ATSU’s diverse community to come together in the spirit of harmony and understanding.

“It is a celebration of the victory of good over evil,” Dr. Venkatesh said. “During Diwali, people decorate their homes, buy and wear new beautiful clothes, light oil lamps, feast on delicious snacks and sweets, and burst firecrackers. At ATSU, we celebrated it with fun, food, colors, laughter, and dance!”
