How do you all feel about this video promoting the East Asian Studies program at my school?
Liga Filipina has been selected to receive the President’s Award for Leadership - Cultural Awareness Award.
Liga Filipina was first established in the fall semester of 1992. It consisted of a few Filipinos trying to educated the Albany community about the Filipino culture as well as issues concerning Filipinos and Filipino Americans.
Since then they have grown, and now collaborate with Filipino groups all across the east coast. They come together and have programs that is both fun and educational.
Liga Filipina continues to grow today and continues to educate the community about Filipino history and culture. They keep the Filipino faith alive on campus as well as the rest of the community.
Liga Filipina has four basic objectives as an organization. These include:
* To represent Filipino students in the school and the community through services and events
* To promote and encourage interaction and mutual understanding among the members of the club
* To educated and influence the community on Filipino culture
* To provide members with many social activities pertaining to the Filipino culture and other interest which the members may have.
Congratulations, you guys have definitely earned it!
Thank you for visiting the official conference website for the East Coast Asian American Student Union’s 35th conference at Duke University. The conference is scheduled for Friday, February 24, 2012 to Sunday, February 26, 2012.
REDISCOVERY. Our central theme, rediscovery, reflects our belief that we must challenge ourselves to re-examine the meaning of Asian American, for ourselves and for our community. Rediscovery asks us to build a new framework with which to think about Asian Americans in the landscape of 21st century America. In doing so, our hope is that our programming provokes critical thought and analysis of the contemporary plight of Asian Americans.
RENAISSANCE. At its core, the notion of rebirth and reinvention epitomizes our notion of renaissance. From Asian American YouTube celebrities to rising stars in the political arena, Asian Americans are beginning to challenge conventional stereotypes that defined our past, locate our present, and write our future.
REVOLUTION. The Civil Rights Movement started with a dream, that things could be different, that change was possible. In this context, we need to ask ourselves what does an Asian American movement look like? What change are we fighting for? At the heart of revolution is the understanding that there could be a new reality, a better one, and that people together can unite to bring it about.
