Students came out in force last Wednesday to experience the protean spectrum of student organizations at the annual Student Involvement Fair. Among the different student organizations are diversity, academic, service, special interest, student services, media, and affiliates.
Many student clubs work in collaboration with departments on campus, such as Delphine Intercultural Center, Student Involvement and Leadership (SIL), Center for International Programs, and Catholic Institute for Lasallian Social Action (CILSA).
Delphine Intercultural holds a proactive position to bring forth inclusiveness in the Saint Mary's College community. This organization is a collection of different types of diversity clubs around campus. Underneath Delphine Intercultural Center umbrella resides Asian Pacific American Student Association (APASA), Black Student Union (BSU), Gay Straight Alliance (GSA), Humans Actively Practicing Aloha (HAPA), Latin American Student Association (LASA), Business and Accounting Latino Association (BALA), Dante Club, German Club, International Club, Pulses, and Hermanas Unidas. Most of these clubs hold meetings every week, usually inside Delphine Intercultural Center, and are open to any students who are interested.
"Come to get involved with our community. Delphine is a place where you can come and hang out, do your homework, get involved with different clubs and organizations. Delphine is a great way to become familiar with the Saint Mary's College community," said Elia Moreno, the coordinator of Delphine Intercultural Center.
"We have different events each cultural month. By doing so, we try to bring support and resources to issues regarding diversity. Our purpose is to educate and follow our Lasallian principles and to build our community with all students, not just students of diversity," said Moreno.
"APASA is a diversity group that invites people to come celebrate the Asian/Pacific Islander culture," said club-president Rommel Devera '08. APASA is one of the diversity clubs under Delphine Intercultural Center that will hold many events this year, such as the Diversity Dance and various barbeques.
