The Asian Student Alliance, led by Co-Presidents Rachel Reyes and Carrie Zeng and Vice President Joshua Gorero, aims to offer education about Asian cultures through fun games and extracurricular activities in the Quinnipiac community. The Asian Student Alliance emphasizes community-building, and encourages any member of the community to join.

Reyes in particular hopes to increase the Asian Student Alliance’s saturation and membership in Quinnipiac culture by highlighting the diversity and fun within Asian cultures. The Asian Student Alliance does this by hosting trivia, bingo, educational speakers and general board meetings.Additionally, Reyes hopes to bring attention to recent racism against Asian people and increase advocacy.

Reyes says she is passionate about the inclusive efforts the Asian Student Alliance makes in the community. Previously, Reyes had not seen her Filipino culture represented at Quinnipiac, until she was able to do so through the Asian Student Alliance.

Moving forward, the Asian Student Alliance hopes to increase inclusivity of all Asian cultures to represent a more diverse culture.

“The ASA emphasizes community-building and encourages any member of the community to join.”
