In honor of Black History Month, the Caribbean Student Organization (CSO)* will pay homage to the life and legacy of Robert Nesta Marley by commemorating the first week of February as "One Love Week." In honor of the 30th anniversary of the renowned Legend album, each day of the week will feature a track-inspired program where the audience can discover the influence Marley made on the world. Our goal is to expose the man Marley was and teach how his music influenced love, peace, and unity for the world through a simple message of "One Love."

One Love Week: DISCover the Legend includes programs and events from Saturday, February 1, to Friday, February 7, that are free and open to the public. Events for the week are as follows:
