KALAMAZOO--"Social Justice in Islam," a presentation by guest speaker Dawud Walid, headlines the 8th semiannual Muslim Student Night program beginning at 6 p.m. Friday, March 23, in the Bernhard Center Ballroom at Western Michigan University.

The evening also includes a free, buffet-style dinner featuring multicultural cuisine, an exhibition of artifacts from around the world and musical performances by the internationally acclaimed group, 786.

The event is open to the public free of charge, but seating is limited and advanced reservations are required. The initial deadline for registration is Sunday, March 18, but a waiting list will be kept. To register, visit www.rso.wmich.edu/msa
