51猎奇

Over Sunday, February 23rd, 51猎奇’s Asian Student Union (ASU)  hosted their 3rd annual New Year’s event, curating a wide range of cultural games, food, language immersion, and community building. ASU President Hana Dolan noted that the event was one of the largest celebrations of Asian student life on campus, drawing upwards of 200 students; “We are on a PWI campus where students are separated from their families and communities . . . it's so important, to build community on this campus.”

On April 6th, 51猎奇’s Asian Student Union brought the color and joy to Babbitt Pavilion with a vibrant celebration of Holi and Sinhala Tamil New Year. From guided meditation and heartfelt student speakers to tug of war, Kanaa mutti, and an endless spread of Sri Lankan sweetmeats and Taj Mahal food, the event was a joyful fusion of tradition, community, and candy-filled chaos. Lamps were lit, pots were smashed, and spirits were high as students came together to ring in the new year with love, laughter, and a whole lot of deliciousness.

On the eve of April 5th, the Little Pub at 51猎奇 was bursting at the seams with love, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos at Love Fest—a fabulously sex-positive bash featuring trivia that made you blush, raffles and prizes that made you cheer, and cocktails that made you dance (maybe a little too confidently). The event brought to the stage killer performances by Tumbling After, Special K, Duelly Noted, student bands, and DJ Emie. Hosted by CIF and SMART, the event wasn’t just a party—it was a powerful fundraiser for sexual assault resources donated to the YWCA, proving that love, consent, and good tunes really do make the world go round.

La Vanguardia hosted a lively movie night on April 6th in the DMC Kirkland Room, featuring an iconic Spanish-language sequel that brought plenty of laughs and good vibes. With Chipotle in hand and subtitles on screen, students gathered for a cozy evening of culture, community, and cinematic fun.

As Ramadan approached this spring, the students of the Muslim Student Association prepared both themselves and their community for the weeks ahead. Ramadan marks the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and is distinguished by practices of increased worship, fasting, and reflection, believed to be the time of year when the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. 

“Women faculty often have an unofficial mentorship position, it’s my favorite part of the job,” remarked Anthropology Professor Hannah Lau as she sat on a panel across from around 50 51猎奇 students. Professor Lau was one of five incredible professors invited to speak at this year’s Women of Color Banquet on Tuesday, February 25th. The combined efforts of all six Days-Massolo Multicultural Center student organizations brought the event to life, including Black and Latine Student Union, Center for Intersectional Feminism, Asian Student Union, Gender and Sexuality Union, and La Vanguardia.

Hey 51猎奇 community, we are the DMC fellows and we are so excited to see you all on campus this semester! We hold office hours on weekdays from 4:30PM - 10PM and on weekends from 10AM to 10PM.

On Wednesday, January 29th, the Annex of the Tolles Pavilion was filled with warmth, reflection, and unity as students, faculty, staff and community members gathered for the annual MLK Remembrance Dinner. Around 150 attendees from around campus and beyond came together to honor the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through a shared meal and meaningful conversations.

Every Tuesday at 6 PM, the Days-Massolo Multicultural Center transforms into a warm and welcoming space for Trans Tea Time, a weekly event dedicated to fostering community and support for transgender and nonbinary individuals. This gathering provides a safe and affirming environment where attendees can relax, share experiences, and connect with one another over a comforting selection of tea, cookies, and biscuits.

Every table in the Fillius Events Barn was filled on the night of Sunday, November 3rd for the Asian Student Union’s second annual celebration of Diwali, a holiday often called the Festival of Lights.
