Open Mic Night raises funds for Japan relief


The Open Mic Night organization hosted March’s OMN event in conjunction with the sisters of SAI in efforts to raise money for Japan relief on March 31.

The SAI sisters provided baked goods and asked for a donation of 50 cents. The event hosted a variety of performances from poetry, to rap to impromptu musical talent. More than 100 people participated, and SAI raised over $80 for Japan relief.

OMN was organized to honor the free expression of SMU students; this event offered the opportunity for students to see their peers perform while donating to a cause. The OMN club officers extend a special thank-you to the sisters of SAI and the SMU students who continue to support these events.
