BYU: Living Legends

Living Legends combines dynamic choreography of Native American choreographies with the color and vitality of the dances of Polynesian and Latin American dances. Performed by talented descendants of these cultures and woven together by traditional and contemporary music, Living Legends' program is a stunning tribute to the ancient cultures of the Americas and the Pacific.

BYU: Multicultural Student Services

Frequently the cultural transition required of multicultural students consists of more than overcoming a financial need. To meet cultural, economic, and social challenges common to the university community, students are encouraged to seek advisement from their assigned Multicultural Student Services (MSS) advisor/counselor. The advisor/counselor will meet with the students to refer them to the appropriate services on campus.
