Booths were set up around the first floor of Lupton Hall to allow students from organizations such as Delta Phi Lambda sorority and Asian Student Association to discuss heritage and the importance of recognizing Asian cultures with students and faculty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a growing Asian American population of students and they have so many things that they\u2019re doing to make sure that we\u2019re celebrating the culture with them,\u201d Stokes said.<\/p>\n<p>UTC freshman and environmental policy and planning major Emma Trubey is ASA\u2019s social media and public relations manager. Adopted from China as a baby, Trubey grew up encouraged by her adoptive parents to learn more about her origins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s nice to know that there is a very large spectrum of characters and stories behind the Asian American experience,\u201d Trubey said. \u201cIt\u2019s so broad and it\u2019s also a spectrum, so coming to a university and meeting more Asian people has been really good just to see what their lives are like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Trubey, learning about other cultures expands one\u2019s viewpoint on the world\u2014an important part of strengthening relationships with others and establishing a greater sense of self.<\/p>\n<p>Kai Nafrada, a UTC freshman and environmental policy and planning major, grew up in San Diego. From a family half Asian American and half Pacific Islander, Nafrada said AAPI month is \u201ca whole month of recognizing that people like me exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Learning about his cultural heritage primarily through the internet, Nafrada joined ASA and was happy to meet others with similar backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really nice to know that there are so many people like me just in America that there\u2019s enough for a month to recognize us,\u201d Nafrada said. \u201cThere is so much culture to learn about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are such different things, but there\u2019s also such shared common things around us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As UTC celebrates the heritage of other cultures, Stokes said the campus recognizes the hardworking impact Asian Americans have on America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo many of the things that we\u2019ve been able to celebrate and enjoy in our country are based off of some of the innovative ideas and thoughts of leaders we\u2019ve had in the Asian community,\u201d Stokes said. \u201cThe more we learn about other cultures, the more we get to reflect on our own. We get the chance to learn more about who we are and our global connection with everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An upcoming highlight takes place on April 22 when UTC\u2019s K-Pop Culture Club will host a dance night with various K-Pop performers. UTC\u2019s AAPI events continue through April 28, just in time for final exams and the start of nationwide AAPI month festivities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga celebrates Asian American Pacific Islander Month in April while the academic year is still in session.
