THOUSAND OAKS, CA. – Students from the Hmong Cultural Heritage Center and Museum in Fresno will give a free public performance at 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 26, at California Lutheran University as part of the Freshman Year Experience program.

The “Hmong Cultural Performance of Martial Arts and Dance” will be held in Gilbert Arena, which is located in the Gilbert Sports and Fitness Center north of Olsen Road near Campus Drive in Thousand Oaks.

All of CLU’s freshmen read Kao Kalia Yang’s book “The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir” before arriving on campus. The new students began discussing the book during orientation and are continuing to address it in Freshman Seminar classes. Yang is speaking to students and the community on Sept. 16 and 17.

Donations will be accepted.

CLU’s Freshman Year Experience and the Office of Student Life are sponsoring the event. For more information, contact Michaela Reaves at (805) 493-3381 or Kristin Price at (805) 493-3521.
