Last semester leaders of many East and Southeast Asian and Asian American clubs formed ASC, the Asian Students Coalition. Its goals are producing joint events and and bringing recognition to Asian interest clubs and organizations.

To further those goals, and because so much gets bundled into April events for Asian Heritage Month, this February they will be having Asian Week - just after the Lunar New Year and featuring more than a week of events. It will also include a road trip to ECAASU, the East Coast Asian American Student Union, the largest college convention of Asian Americans on the East Coast.

The events planned so far (and more are being worked on during intersession) include:

Does it say something that NONE of these events are in the Wang Center - that place Charles Wang, President of the Chinese Association at Queens College when he was a student - built for Asian American students to meet each other - "a boy meets girl place"?  So few student run events are allowed there that the students did not even bother to see if they could. Mr. Wang, what has happened here?
