The Dashain Celebration event aims to bring together the Nepalese student community at UMSL to celebrate one of Nepal's most significant cultural festivals. By celebrating Dashain, the event fosters cultural pride, community bonding, and inclusivity, allowing students to share their heritage with others on campus. It also provides an opportunity for new and existing students to connect with each other, offering support and promoting cultural exchange in line with the mission of the Nepalese Student Association (NUMSL). The event serves to strengthen the sense of belonging among Nepalese students and to introduce the broader UMSL community to Nepali traditions.
