This past weekend, from the 11th to the 13th, Vigor and I (Vida) went to MAASU LR! It is short for "Midwest Asian American Student Union Leadership Retreat." It's basically a time when students from all over the country, primarily from the midwest region come together, meet, and learn about each other's campuses and just grow from the inspriring student leaders from all over. This year's LR was at University of Illinois at Chicago and the theme was Grass Roots.Grass Roots
It really was a neat experience. It was my first time attending MAASU in general whereas Vigor goes frequently due to being a Executive Coordinating Committee (ECC) member. He's the Membership Outreach Co-Chair! I met a lot of fun and new people and the banquet at the end was really entertaining especially with the performers that the awesome planning committee reached out to.

Happy belated Halloween!There hasn't been too to update. A lot of organizations have hosting a lot of events recently so please go to those if you can! Again, for a full update as to what events, please refer to the calendar to the left.
From now on, I am going to start a featured events hosted by other Asian orgs. So here's today's!
Anomaly, a documentary film about multiracial identity
Hapa Student Association (HSA), SHADES, and the Asian American Studies Program are screening Anomaly, a documentary film about multiracial identity in Thompson Library at 7PM.
"Anomaly is an award-winning documentary that provides a thought-provoking look at multiracial identity by combining personal narratives with the larger drama of mixed race in American culture. The characters use spoken word and music to tell their stories of navigating identity, family and community in a changing world. Community leaders and academic experts contextualize the issues. As it unfolds, Anomaly tells a story that is deeply personal, yet broadly American."
There will be refreshments and a follow-up after the film as well.

Hope to see a lot of people there!
