In March of each year, the Â鶹´«Ã½ Storytelling Festival focuses on bringing storytelling to students.

Stories may be entertaining or cathartic, true or imagined. The act of storytelling does more than simply share a message; it imparts empathy and fosters language development. Stories create connection.

Under the leadership of a Â鶹´«Ã½ Communication Instructor and student volunteers, students find inspiration at the annual storytelling festival featuring renowned storytellers from around the country. The festival is held in conjunction with the Mariposa Festival and Friends of the Arts at Â鶹´«Ã½.
