Peruvian music and dance was performed to a packed house at the Gluck Theater in the WVU Mountainlair.

A reception featured Peruvian delicacies and informational exhibits highlighting the traditional people of Peru.

The Minister Counselor for the Peruvian Foreign Service Office in Washington D.C. was the festival's guest speaker.

"We are not only part of the same hemisphere but we have the same beliefs, the same principles," says Luis Chang, Peruvian Embassy to the U.S.

"We believe in democracy, in human rights and that is the way we should link one country with the other one," says Chang.

The entire evening was dedicated in memory to Maria Cecilia Gilardi Rollins of Peru who was the first WVU Counselor of Multicultural Programs.
