Mission Statement:
The Asian/Hispanic/Native American Center (AHNAC),
the youngest cultural center at Wright State University, was created in the Fall of 1997
to support the academic, social, and cultural needs of Asian, Hispanic, and Native
American students, faculty and staff at the University. It also serves as an informational
resource center regarding the Asian, Hispanic, Native American experience and creates an
appreciation and understanding of the
diverse Asian, Hispanic, and Native American cultures represented within the community.
The Center also plays a vital role in serving as a cultural liaison to the University and
Dayton communities.
Be a part of the Center:
The Asian/Hispanic/Native American Center is located in 144 Allyn and is open to the entire Wright State University community and the Dayton community. We invite you to become involved with us, to volunteer your time, and share your ideas. For further information about the Center, please contact Mai Nguyen, director, or Shannon Wagner, secretary, at (937) 775-2798, or e-mail Mai.Nguyen@wright.edu, and/or Shannon.Wagner@wright.edu.
History:
In the summer of 1997, the Asian, Hispanic, and
Native American students, being unrepresented and unable to voice their concerns which
lead to a negative view of their experience of student life at Wright State University,
appeared before the University Strategic Planning Council at its open forums, and in
meetings with President Harley Flack, to present their concerns and pleas for the
establishment of the long awaited cultural center to address their needs.
Responded to the Ohio Board of Regents Master Plan, The Challenge is Change, adopted by
the University in September 1996; and to the Three-C Challenge of competence,
collaboration, and caring which President Harley E. Flack articulated in his October 1994
inaugural address, the 1998-2003
Wright State University Strategic Plan recommends the creation of the
Asian/Hispanic/Native American Center.
On October 27, 1997, the Asian/Hispanic/Native American Center officially opened its door
to the university and surrounding community to share in their history, their experiences,
and their culture.
