Cultural fashion shows just don’t organize themselves! It takes a dedicated group of students to plan an event the magnitude of Voyage to Utopia. We’re taking some time to shine light on the students making big moves for a great cause. Here’s the VTU executive board:

What is your Utopia? My Utopia is a sense of being — a sense of being where everyone fully understands themselves as individuals and do not hesitate to shine their light on others. It’s a place where everyone can be who they truly are and are not be afraid of society and its norms or whatever is used to keep us back in life or keeps us in a box. A place where we can love each other wholly and full heartedly without being embarrassed. A place where we can all be truly and unconditionally human.
