The Asian Pacific American Student Union will host a cultural celebration called United by Diversity in The Great Room in Global Scholars March 1 at 6 p.m. The event will include a range of different entertainment and food for an entry fee of $5 for students and a general admission price of $7. All the proceeds collected will go to end child prostitution, abuse and trafficking in Cambodia.

“Basically this is APASU’s cultural night where we will focus and talk about issues regarding loss of culture and multicultural identity,” APASU director Roseanna Ling said. “We want to focus on some of the issues that are overlooked and will incorporate different forms of culture through performances from Wushu, Indian dancers and people can enjoy good food.”

APASU is a student organization on campus that serves as a support service and network for the needs of Asian Pacific students, faculty and community members. APASU’s main mission is to educate members on some issues that indirectly and directly affect the Asian Pacific American community on various levels. From a campus, national and global level. In part they can achieve that mission through the United by Diversity night.

Catering will be provided from Sweet Life and East Meets West. Students can also expect to learn more about the Hawaiian culture from Island Arts.

“Students can expect to become educated and have a sense of awareness of some of the issues that multicultural communities members and students face,” Ling said. “Also our event is open to all students and some of the issues will discuss does not fully pertain to just the APASU community it pertains to all cultures.”
