University Carillonist Tiffany Ng performs on the Charles Baird Carillon, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower.

In the Michigan League’s Hussey Room, Dr. Shanti Venetiaan, President of the Board of Anton de Kom University of Suriname, presents the lecture “Suriname 50 Years Srefidensi: Journey of a Small Multiethnic Nation,” in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Suriname’s independence.
