The fundamental purpose of the Persian Students Association (PSA) is to cultivate an inclusive space where members can forge connections, engage in meaningful discussions about Persian culture and beyond, explore the rich history and traditions of Iran, and foster enduring friendships that extend beyond their time at the University. Their much-anticipated 24th Annual Nowruz (Persian New Year) Show occurred on March 30, 2024, at the Power Center from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This cultural extravaganza has been a cherished tradition, embodying the essence of "Persian" identity through a captivating array of elements: music, girls' dance, guys' dance, couples dances, a skit, a fashion show, a musical performance, and a Nowruz presentation.
