This year, Moorpark College's annual Multicultural Day takes place on Tuesday, April 10th. The theme "Dance with the Conflict" supports the college's Year of Conflict Transformation.

A display of art, folklore, native dress, jewelry, musical instruments and other items from different cultures can be viewed in the display case inside the entrance to the Library Learning Resources (LLR) building. The cultures represented include Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Egyptian, French, African, and Native American (among others.) Thanks to Professor Chris Marx.
