During the Fall 2015 semester, colleges and universities across the country were rocked by student protests addressing racial tensions on campuses. Ithaca College was also affected by these issues, and it is among many other institutions that are now trying to heal their communities while also facing losses in enrollment and retention.
“LGBT people, POC and other marginalized groups are here too, and their/our mental health is important and should be talked about more both in general and within those communities,” Lopez said.
The second-annual Ithaca Pan Asian American Film Festival will take place from April 15–17 and feature films focusing the Asian-American narrative.
Throughout the month of April, the Asian American Alliance will be hosting a series of events as part of Focus Asia Month, which will focus on embracing Asian-American culture and identity.
The idea behind forum theatre, an event held by the AAA on Feb. 29, was to create simulations that forced audience members to confront Asian-American stereotypes in a college setting and provide solutions to combat them.
Brothers 4 Brothers and the Ithaca College Asian American Alliance hosted a three vs. three basketball tournament Feb. 20 to fundraise for both organizations. The tournament was open to Ithaca College, Cornell University and the greater Ithaca community.
