ASA wins 2008 Innovation Award
ASA received the 2008 WSU Innovation Award for Outstanding Student Organization during the annual Student Leader Recognition Reception on May 22, 2008. This award is given to an emerging and established student group that has a proven record of excellence in campus programming, student government, community outreach, or the improvement of the quality of life for students on campus.
We also congratulate Nancy Scott and Nishant Vyas for winning the Outstanding Senior for 2007-2008 award. Nancy Scott is the 2007-2008 president of the Association of Native American Students and the Asian/Hispanic/Native American Student Council.

ASA Seminar in OKD Leadership Conference

ASA raises $640 for Relay for Life!
Even though this year was ASA's first time being involved with Relay for Life, we were able to raise over $600 for cancer research and that placed us at the 9th position (out of 30 teams). To raise money, our members sold chocolate-dipped fortune cookies in the Student Union and the Hanger. The cookies were incredibly popular with the WSU community, and the cookies were sold out in a matter of days. ASA won the Best Relay Campsite Competition and the Shopping Cart Race.
The Relay for Life at Wright State University is on April 19-20 from 3:00pm - 9:00am. You can join the ASA team or make a donation by visiting the ASA Relay Team web page.
Asian Culture Night 2008 is a huge Success!
Asian Culture Night is on Saturday, April 12 from 7:00pm. Our special feature is the Li-Juan Golden Rose Girls' Choir of the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, China. Tickets start at $8. We had over 500 people attend.
