WK7: Staff Elections!
Hello all! Thanks again for coming out to see Arden Cho last Saturday! She enjoyed her stay here and appreciates the support!
This week: STAFF ELECTIONS!
Vote for next year’s APASU Exec Board! At this meeting, each candidate will have a short window of time (2-3 minutes) to talk about why they are interested and qualified for the position they are running for followed by a chance to answer questions from APASU general members.
Following the conclusion of all of the speeches, we will take some time to vote. All officers shall be elected by a majority (over 50%) vote. In the case of a position with more than two people running: if there is no majority winner after the initial vote, the two candidates with the most votes will be entered in a runoff election week 8. The candidate with the most votes after the runoff election will be elected. Results will be sent out via email following the conclusion of elections.
See you all there!

WK4: Speed Friending
Hello wonderful APASUers!
This Wednesday we are going to have a change of scenery, and instead of meeting in the MCC, we will be in the Wesley Center @5pm for some Speed Friending!! And then after we’ll all go out for some dinner 
What is “Speed Friending”?
Well, think of it as Speed-Dating, minus the awkward dating, and it’s just a quick way for all of us to meet and get to know new people!
BRING YOUR FRIENDS! and plan on making some new ones! 
If you don’t know where the Wesley Center is:
- It’s between The Duck Store and Rennie’s on Kincaid
- More specifically: 1236 Kincaid Street
- And if you’re still confused, here is a map:
Hope to see you all there!
WK3: Off Yello & Spring Retreat!
Hey APASU!
This Wednesday we will be having an Off Yello workshop in the MCC at 5pm. Our Off-Yello editor will be leading us with prompts at this meeting in order to get some submissions for this year’s issue of Off-Yello!
What is Off-Yello you may ask?
Off Yello is the official print publication of the University of Oregon’s Asian Pacific American Student Union (APASU).
The publication’s mission is to showcase writing, photography, and artwork by Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans. There is an abundance of talent among us, and we love serving as a creative outlet for all. We publish work by those who are not only in APASU, but in other cultural groups as well, such as the Vietnamese Student Association, Japanese Student Organization, Kultura Pilipinas, Chinese Student Association, Korean Student Association, Hong Kong Student Association, and International Student Association. We also welcome submissions from people outside the University of Oregon – we’re all family in the APIA community!
We hope you can make it because we would LOVE to have as many submissions as we can this year no matter what your ability is
***There will be refreshments provided to help fuel your brains ***
***——————–
Also, our Spring Retreat is coming up on May 4-6!
The retreat is FREE but if you’d like to reserve a spot, you will need to bring $5 to the meeting this Wednesday.
The $5 will be returned to you during the retreat.
Spots are limited for the retreat, so claim your spot SOON!
We will be reserving spots on a first come first serve basis.
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
