Asian Cultural Center to have open house

entHenna

Current members of the Asian Cultural Center are welcoming students back with an open house for all interested. The open house will be held 2 to 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 15 in the Asian Cultural Center.

The meeting will discuss the ACC’s events for spring 2015, while taking suggestions from both new and old members.

From India to China, and everywhere in between, the ACC aims to promote a community of Asian IU students where knowledge of historical roots and cultural topics are discussed freely.

Throughout the year, the ACC hosts services around campus such as Henna 101, calligraphy lessons and tutoring sessions.

The ACC hosts an annual Student Leadership Retreat in the fall, focusing on community-building activities.

They provide several ongoing series throughout the year, which include demonstrations and performances, aiming to bring traditions of Asian culture to campus. These ongoing series consist of recipe exchanges, cooking events and the Asian Cultures Around Campus series.

They provide monthly forums that discuss topics affecting the Asian-Pacific American community like dating, childrearing and ways of gift-giving that respects both American and Asian cultures. Other monthly events include the Asian Presidents’ Dinner meeting, where Asian students can discuss and network about similar topics.

On a weekly basis, students can be involved by attending Asian language learning programs or by becoming more knowledgeable in traditional Asian games such as mahjong at the ACC.

All events are at little to no cost to participants.

The ACC is located at 807 E. 10th St.
