FSA Winter Community Gathering

HELLO COMMUNITY!

All are welcome to this Winter quarter’s Filipino Student Association’s Community Gathering.
This is a space where everyone can come together to socialize and educate one another with the topic we’ve picked for this event:

-Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW)

We know yall are busy, but please come and take the time to meet some new people, and share your own stories and experiences with one another. We hope to see you there!

Bring Our Spirits and Energies in Solidarity (BOSES)

Bring Our Spirits and Energies in Solidarity (BOSES) is an event that PHD (Pilipino Historical Dialogue class) hosts along with Activities every year to uncover some of the hidden histories and issues in the Filipino community.

This year we will be covering Diaspora which means distribution or dispersion of religion, people, politics, ethics, etc. There will be three workshops that will happen simultaneously, two of which will be facilitated by PHD students and one will be an ALAY writing workshop. Our keynote speaker is Steven Mckay from the Sociology Department whose research is on Asian/Filipino Diaspora. FSA’s (Filipino Student Association) own performing aspects will be performing also. Free admission, food and entertainment. Come and meet other students and network and learn more about Diaspora.
