Asian Cultural Week (March 15-19)

Reconnecting…In times of vaccines, virtual happy hours, and violent struggles, we are navigating through a world that has forced us to reflect on our lives. Acknowledging the adversity, we are working to better ourselves, our communities, and our understanding of our cultures. We are making a collective comeback by looking at our roots, our present self, and imagining the future to see who we are meant to be. With love and hope, we are......Finding our way

"Asian Cultural Week is a continuation and new chapter of the legacy of Asian Cultural Night (ACN). Traditionally, ACN was a one night, in-person, live event on campus where students would showcase their culture, heritage, stories and identities. This year we are embracing the switch to an online platform by celebrating the Asian and Asian-American community for an entire week beginning March 15th. We have expanded this event to the greater community by reaching out to faculty, staff, community leaders, entrepreneurs, small business owners and family to share their many unique perspectives. Asian Cultural Week is a time to honor the people before us, celebrate our accomplishments, but it is also a time to bring awareness to issues within our community and country in order to bring justice and solidarity for the future. This year's theme is Reconnecting... Finding Our Way which is a reference to how we have been affected by a global pandemic, but it is also a reference to how people of color and minority groups in America have faced so much racial discrimination. This theme is more than just reconnecting with people in the Asian community. It's about how we can all come together and use our collective voice to push for change. Every culture, group, identity, and person... we have to find a way to look after one another."
