BUS’s 39th annual Renaissance Ball takes center stage tonight with garden theme

The victory of Barack Obama is not the only reason for Black United Students to celebrate this week.

Tonight, the 39th annual Renaissance Ball and Pageant will be the jump-start for a series of weekend-long events to commemorate the organization’s 40th anniversary.

Lotus Garden is this year’s theme. The pageant contest will be followed by a dance.

The event will begin at 8 p.m. in the Kent State Ballroom. Doors will open at 7 p.m. All students, faculty and alumni are welcome to the free event.
