November marks the beginning of celebration for the Asian American Student Association as they host their month-long schedule of events.
The Asian American Student Association is a part of the Big 4 student organizations, the other three being Spectrum, Black Student Association and Latino Student Union. AASA works to promote diversity and cultural appreciation by providing opportunities for students to experience different types of backgrounds, cultures and people on campus, AASA President Sang Nguyen said.
“Everyone is welcome to participate in all of the events throughout the month,” Nguyen said. “Our goal with these is to create an atmosphere on campus where students can appreciate each other and all our different cultures.”
