Last Sunday, 25th May 2013, my friends and I went down to Seattle to see the 42nd Annual Northwest Folklife Festival. Basically, this is a festival that is held every Memorial Day weekend at the Seattle Center; it celebrates the art and culture of the Northwest. They have everything from arts, music, dance, circus acts…you name it.

On May 9th, a presentation called “Who Are We” took place in the Technology Center. This is a series put on by Green River Community College’s Teaching and Learning Center. This quarter the presentation featured Chinese students. Chinese students make up 1/3 of the total international student population at GRCC. It was a valuable opportunity to have a group of 5 current students from mainland China as representatives to share their stories with the faculty and staff that attended. One of our I.P. advisers Kirsten Weber hosted this event. An interesting animation video, called Introduction to China in 10 Minutes was played at the beginning to show Chinese history, cultures and customs, giving the audience an idea of what life of the largest population in the world is all about.

On March 22nd this year, a group of 11 GRCC students and 3 staff members departed from the Bus Circle for The Path in Estancia, New Mexico. We crammed into two mini-vans and embarked on an eight-day road trip that is full of amazing natural sceneries along the way. It took us three days, eight hours each day, of driving to reach Estancia. During these three days, we stopped in a couple of cities across many different states for lunch every day and to stay the nights. We then spent another three days, eight hours each day, of driving back from Estancia to GRCC. Continue reading

On April 11-13, I was selected as one of the student leaders who represent for Green River Community College to attend the 23rd annual Student of Color Conference in Yakima, Washington. It was such an honor for me because the conference educates me about different cultures, helps me to be more aware about social issues, develop leadership skills, as well as gives me fun and memorable experience. This year, Green River Community College brings 18 student representatives and three advisors to join with other colleges in Washington. Everyone in the conference respects each other regardless of where you come from. Continue reading
