    \n<\/TABLE>Greek, Indian, Italian and soul food vendors will prepare free samples for employees. And singers and dancers who represent various cultures will provide entertainment.<\/p>\n

    The event will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the student plaza outside the Sorrrell Center — the first outdoor event in the new student area.<\/p>\n

    “This is the culmination of a year of learning about other cultures and backgrounds and an opportunity to showcase the diversity at UNMC and in the community we serve,” said Linda Cunningham, human resources department diversity specialist and president of the UNMC Employee Diversity Network (EDN).<\/p>\n

    Opening remarks will be made at 11:15 a.m. Also at the event:
    \n

    • Free food will be served between 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m;
      \n
    • Each vendor will provide information about how the food is prepared and its cultural significance; and
      \n
    • Performances will run non-stop from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/UL><\/p>\n

      In the case of inclement weather, the event will be held in the Sorrell Center’s Truhlsen Campus Events Center.<\/p>\n

      Employees and students from UNMC, UNMC Physicians and The Nebraska Medical Center are welcome to attend. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
