submitted by thaohh4@augsburg.edu

Hello Augsburg Community! AASA invites all students, faculty, and staff to AASA’s 4th Cultural Exploration.

The Augsburg Asian Student Association’s Cultural Exploration purposes are to explore a culture in the Pan-Asian community in a variety of ways to educate our members and to have a better understanding of a Pan-Asian culture.

Cultural Exploration: Japanese American History will take place during AASA’s 10th General Meeting from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm in room Hagfors 150A on February 18th, 2019.
AASA is happy to announce that we have invited Augsburg Faculty Andrew L Aoki, Professor, Chair of Political Science and Sabo Fellow, to present on Japanese American History. AASA will also be having guest speaker Sally Sudo, from the Twin Cities Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) Education Committee, who will be speaking on their lived experience through the Japanese Internment camp during World War II.

This can be a heavy topic for some people, so we ask that you come with intentionality to learn and respect what the presenters have to share.

We hope to see everyone join us on the 18th of February.
