Fall 2010 AIC Welcome Back Gathering

September 7, 2010

Wednesday, September 8, 2010
11:30am – 1:30pm
University Union 150

The American Intercultural Center would like to invite the campus community to join in a Welcome Back Celebration at the AIC/Office of Student Life (Room 150, University Union), from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday (Sept. 8).

The Welcome Back gathering is an opportunity for new and returning students to meet each other, learn about student organizations, resources offered by the AIC and programs developed by the Office of Student Life, the Diversity Task Force and much more.

It is also an opportunity to meet and network with faculty, administrators, and others who are advocates and allies for students of color and other under-represented students, such as students with disabilities, students from different religious backgrounds, students who are first-generation students, military veterans, students who identify as GLBTQ (Gay, Lesbian Bi-Sexual Transgender Questioning) and international students.

AIC Diversity Director Deborah Rezac notes that the “Inclusive Excellence” concepts of broader definitions of diversity are reflected here: “Our diverse student community is growing and with that growth will come great opportunities for new learning and will challenge us to work together in new ways!” So… 11:30 – 1:30 on Wednesday… stay as long as you like, bring your lunch and enjoy great fellowship!

The student organization, Southeast Asian Student Union (SASU), is happy to announce its annual egg roll fundraiser.

Egg rolls are traditionally made in Asian cultures for the purpose of family gatherings and special events.  They are made with seasoned pork, shredded carrots, onions, cabbage, bean thread and eggs all wrapped in Asian rice paper, then deep fried.  SASU is also offering a vegetarian option (same vegetables) with no meat.

Egg rolls can be frozen and then warmed in oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. The pricing is: one half dozen (6) = $8.00, One dozen (12)  =  $14.00, Two dozen (24) = $25.00, Three dozen (36)  =  $35.00 with Sweet and Sour Dipping available for $0.50 per 2oz container.

Order forms and payment have to be in to the American Intercultural Center (AIC) (University Union Room 150) by Thursday, February 18, 2010 by 3pm. The egg rolls can be picked up on Monday, February 22, 2010 in the AIC after 9:00 AM. If you are interested, please email SASU Staff Adviser, Mai Lo Lee at lom@uwgb.edu – she would be more than happy to email you an order form.

AIC Welcome Back Gathering, Feb. 1

February 1, 2010

We would like to invite the campus community to our Welcome Back Gathering in the AIC, University Union 150, on Monday (Feb. 1) from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. It is a popular event for multicultural students, faculty, and our friends and allies campus-wide. As some of you may know, UWGB is beginning to explore an expanded understanding of diversity toward more fully integrating diversity, inclusion, and equity initiatives into the fabric of campus life. To that end, it is vital to make every effort to meet new people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives and to challenge ourselves to step out of our comfort zone.

The American Intercultural Center (AIC) shares the space with the Office of Student Life (OSL). The purpose of the event is to network with students, share a light meal together and informally visit with one another. The environment is safe, informal, and comfortable. The students call it a “home away from home”. The AIC hosts this event every semester, but the hope is that the connections made here will last throughout the semester and that we can begin to create new circles of support for students campuswide. We will take a few minutes to introduce the staff of the AIC and the Office of Student Life, as well as introduce the leaders of several key student organizations. If you are available anytime between 11:30-1:00 on Monday, February 1st stop in and visit with our students! We look forward to seeing you and working together to support student success!

For more information please call 465-2720.

Hello, AIC students!!

November 5, 2009

This is our brand new website….Yeah!  The website will be a work in progress.  Please let me know your ideas and reactions and feel free to be our friend on facebook and send us comments.  I want to be able to start discussions about changes that will be happening on campus regarding diversity.  It is important that students not just have a voice, but participate fully to shape the UW Green Bay Campus Diversity Inititative called Inclusive Excellence.
