The Asian Student Association, Kappa Lambda Delta Sorority, and the International Student Association are hosting Asian Week ‘09 in celebration of the Asian New Year. The week is made up of events to help bring in the year of the Ox, while also encouraging diversity on campus.

Asian Week kicks off tonight with Movie Night at 8 p.m. in the BLUU Auditorium. The feature presentation will be “The Forbidden Kingdom” followed by a special New Year’s presentation and a martial arts demonstration.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, Asian Bazaar will take place on the first floor of the BLUU across from the Spirit Shop. Students can check out traditional Asian gifts and decor as well as Horned Frog paraphernalia.

After Open Mic Night on Thursday night, Asian Week will conclude with the Asian New Year Festival. The festival will take place from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday in the BLUU Ballroom on the third floor. Traditional Asian games and dances are among the activities scheduled along with food and prizes. Entry costs $3 at the door.

All three of the organizations are members of Inclusiveness and Intercultural Services, which works to promote diversity, inclusiveness, and cultural awareness throughout the TCU community.
