“Asians are good at math, they all know Kung Fu, and are bad drivers.” These are just a few of the many stereotypes about Asians. Join ASG President, Winston Lee, as he facilitates a discussion on Asian culture & stereotypes. This discussion will provide an opportunity for students to share their experiences, learn about Asian American history, and discover ways to get involved on and off campus.

In following their story, the film examines a larger problem in the way that the government and society still look at tribal sovereignty. Tthe film producers will be in attendance to take questions after the showing.

Area High Schoolers on Campus for annual Student Bio Expo, Fri., May 19

On Fri., May 19, Shoreline Community College is hosting the 17th annual Northwest Association for Bio-medical research (NWBAR) Expo.
