Being in an Affinity Group

“I am a part of the Asian Student Association, where we celebrate and share our diverse cultures and traditions. I love that our group provides a safe space to connect with others who share similar backgrounds and experiences, and my favorite part is the way we uplift each other and work together on meaningful projects that represent our voices such as celebrations at our festivals. Being in this group makes me feel seen and understood, creating a sense of belonging that extends beyond just our meetings.”

“Something I enjoy about QSU is that it is a very loving community. Everyone is supportive of each other, making QSU both a fun club and a safe space to be vulnerable. Being a part of QSU makes me feel seen as a part of the LGBTQ community. It proves that nobody has to stand alone.”

“My favorite aspect of the Multicultural club is the ability to be open and accepting to many cultures building communities and friendship. This group helps me get involved in the community and helps plan out schools events for everyone to enjoy.”

“I'm a part of the Asian Student Association (ASA). My favorite aspect of being in this affinity group is to see how collaborative and unitive this group can be. Being supported by my members will always be an invaluable experience in my life. Being within this affinity group, the responsibility held by all of us when addressing a challenge keeps reminding me of the significance of teamwork. I believe that the connection built among all of us defines collaboration, community, and family.”

“My favorite thing about BSU is our weekly meetings where we share different aspects of our culture and celebrate our identities. We often plan events making the meetings productive as well. I feel a lot happier knowing that there are other people in this school who share the same cultural experiences as me growing up. It also deepens my understanding of other global cultures so that I can stay open minded.”
