Upcoming & Ongoing Events
Lunar New Year Get-Together – February 20, 2026
The Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Cultural Center at ACC invites you to our Lunar New Year Get-Together in celebration of the Year of the Horse! This special event is an opportunity to come together and honor the traditions, culture, and significance of the Lunar New Year.
Enjoy an engaging evening filled with vibrant student performances, interactive games, and a delicious dinner as we welcome the Lunar New Year with community, joy, and good fortune.
Spring AAPI Book Club
In the upcoming Spring 2026 semester, the AAPI Book Club will read and discuss Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People by Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald. In this book, the authors explore the hidden biases that influence our perceptions and decisions, often without our awareness. Blending psychological research with real-world examples, they examine themes of prejudice, self-awareness, and social responsibility, and offer ways to recognize and counter the stereotypes built into the mind.
Fall Chinese Calligraphy Circle
Starting this fall semester, the AAPI Cultural Center will host monthly Friday meetups where students can immerse themselves in the timeless art of Chinese brush writing while cultivating mindfulness and focus. Each session offers a peaceful space to slow down, connect with others, and explore the beauty of traditional characters through guided practice and creative expression. Whether you are a beginner or experienced, all are welcome. Materials will be provided; just bring your curiosity and a calm mind.
Mahjong & Mingling
Beginning this fall semester, join us for Mahjong and Mingling, a monthly Friday meetup where the ACC community can relax, socialize, and learn the strategic and engaging game of mahjong. Whether you are a seasoned player or brand new to the game, this club offers a fun and welcoming environment to connect with others, sharpen your mind, and enjoy some friendly competition. Enjoy the game, make new friends, and unwind. No experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided.
