The TRU Students’ Union Persian Club is playing host to the event, which will run from 7:00 p.m. to midnight in Room 190 in the Brown Family House of Learning.

Nowruz marks the beginning of spring and festivities include photos alongside the Haft-Sin table, which features seven symbolic items in Persian culture.
