Poetry slam attracts large audience, showcases students' creativity
On Friday, Oct. 18, the Union held an "Around the World" event, hosting activities from different countries. In the city of Paris, France, which was located at the Commons, a Poetry Slam contest was held. "Poetry Slam is a competition in which you sign up to read your poetry. Then, five people who are selected from the audience judge you. The highest scores and the lowest scores are cut from moving on to the next round. The average of the scores are allowed to move on to the next round," said Jessica Williams-Gibson, director of the Fine Arts Committee.
