"Hey Asian America, What's Goin' On?": NAASCon's Student Networking Campaign

The National Asian American Student Conference (NAASCon) is eager to present their campaign, Hey Asian America, What's Goin' On?, in hopes of gaining more insight to Asian Americans' experiences across the nation. Through your stories, we want to connect students throughout various regions and discover the state of Asian America today.

NAASCon's campaigns such as boycotting Abercrombie & Fitch for their racist apparel to protesting Details Magazine for their stereotypical portrayal of Asian men are some of many that NAASCon has coordinated in the past.

As a national organization, we want to effectively distribute resources and information that would allow us to better recognize movements occurring outside of our respective campuses and communities. Reaching out beyond one's own bubble can be a fairly difficult task if you are not connected to certain groups, organizations, etc. and it can become quite easy to stay isolated within one's own campus, community, region, etc.

We realize the power in learning about each others' stories and how much we have to offer each other through these experiences. This is where you, the students, come in.

DEADLINE: March 1st, 2008

LENGTH: 500 - 700 words
EMAIL SUBMISSIONS to naascon.news@gmail.com

Please see Campaign_prompt-2.pdf and campaign_press_release-1.pdf for more information. Email naascon.news@gmail.com with any questions!

In Solidarity,
The National Asian American Student Conference, National Board
