Cal U Liberal Arts Festival
Forty-four Brentwood high school students visited the
California University of Pennsylvania (CAL U) campus
to participate in the annual Liberals Art Festival. This
festival celebrated cultures from all over the world and
allowed students to patriciate in hands-on learning
experiences. Students attended a presentation on
life in Germany, which taught the importance of
learning a secondary language and embracing a world
view. The students were able to learn about festivals
celebrated in different countries, try on clothes from
other cultures, sample cuisine from around the world,
learn and teach phrases in different languages, and
some even learned the basics to sword fighting! This
trip not only expanded students’ understanding of
other cultures and countries, it also gave students
the opportunity to see a college campus and talk to
students and professors about a variety of majors and
professions in the liberal arts field.
