Come join the Pan Asian Council this week with the launch our two new series:
Asians in the Media
Tuesdays @ 8 PM in Robo 104 (PAC room)
Each week PAC will screen a different film or documentary that challenges the stagnant Hollywood perceptions of Asian Americans. Following the viewing there will be a brief discussion.

Raising Consciousness
Wednesday @ 5:30 PM in Collis 221
Weekly discussions will revolve around topics pertinent to Asian American students at Dartmouth and the world at large. These discussions will aim to develop the critical lens through which students view current affairs.
"Remember that consciousness is power. Consciousness is education and knowledge. Consciousness is becoming aware. It is the perfect vehicle for students. Consciousness-raising is pertinent for power, and be sure that power will not be abusively used, but used for building trust and goodwill domestically and internationally. Tomorrow's world is yours to build."? - Yuri Kochiyama
This Wednesday - The Interview: Political Defiance or Hollywood Tragedy?
