Student Organizations – Affinity Groups

Asian Student Union/Korean-American Student Association (ASU/KASA):

Asian Student Union/Korean-American Student Association aims to provide a space on campus for students of Asian heritage to build community and create a sense of belonging. We will engage with topics and issues that are currently transpiring in our world today, through forms of media, discussions, and engagement.

Meeting times: TBD

Contact: j_lam@coloradocollege.edu 

South Asian Students’ Association (SASA):

South Asian Students’ Association (SASA) brings together students who may or may not share a lineage with the South Asian region. The club typically meets on Fridays at 5 sometimes for a good chat, sometimes for planning an event over some good South Asian food and other times to discuss the ongoing geo-political issues in the region. One thing that SASA is actively working towards is reflecting on its majority Hindu and upper caste population and being more intentional about the implications of what we have the privilege to do. Anyone interested is welcome. Given the current situation, when and how we meet is flexible.

Meeting times: TBD

Chinese Student Association (CSA):

Chinese Student Association is established to promote the interests and awareness of Chinese culture in the CC community. It also functions as a means of social engagement and aims to make the work from underrepresented groups become visible. We host several events–such as the Chinese New Year Celebration, and the Taste of China–which allow participants to have fun and learn more about Chinese culture. All students who are interested in Chinese culture are welcome to join our group!

Our mission at Mixed Kids Club is to create a space in which multi-racial people can share in their experiences, build community, and engage with all parts of their heritage along with the complexities that may come along with that. Mixed Kids Club is a low pressure, low commitment group, meant to be a supplement to other affinity groups, to allow students who identify as multi-racial a space to discuss and engage in all aspects of their identity.
