CSUN FASA as a Filipino American organization seeks the intellectual, social, cultural, and political development of its membership. It shall carry out this aim through the following:
- by providing activities that promote closer unity among the general membership;
- by exposing and educating members on their duty of involvement in the Filipino American community;
- by developing the membership’s intellectual capacity to the fullest and;
- by involving the membership in the propagation and maintenance of the cultural and historical heritage of Filipinos/Filipino Americans.
Hi CSUN FASA:
My name is Lauren Ho, and I am a facilitator for the UC Berkeley student
group Cal Queer and Asian. I would like to invite you and the Asian
American Studies Student Association to the Queer and Asian conference we
will be putting on next month:

Categorically speaking, where do you fit? Which bubble do you circle?
Which box do you scratch down a checkmark in? Mark one. Only one.
Prioritize. The box confines. The box omits. The box silences. As nearly
half a century of progress, activism, and change have demonstrated that
“Asian” is obsolete—we are not one people, but many; we’ve garnered more
boxes to choose from. But it is still a box. The box confines. The box
omits. The box silences. We’ve reached an age of intersections. The
“Asian” collides with the “Queer.” Decide. Are you the L, G, B, T, I, Q,
Q, or A? And if you mark a Q, what Q is it? In this age of intersections,
the boxes multiply. The silences multiply. In the end, what story does the
box tell?
Behind every box there’s a story. What is yours? What is ours? Berkeley’s
1st Queer and Asian Conference will be held on Saturday, May 3rd, 2008.
The theme is Sto ry -ing t he Sile nce: Filling the Pages. This year’s
conference is organized by the University of California, Berkeley’s
student group Cal Q & A (Cal Queer & Asian). As we put a story to the
silence, we hope this will be a day for community building and networking;
a place to explore the intersections of our identity, and share our
experiences, our stories as individuals; our stories as community.
Together, let’s break through the compounded silences of Queer and Asian.
Also, the Gay Asian Pacific Alliance (GAPA) proudly presents an
intercollegiate after-party to UC Berkeley’s 2008 Queer and Asian (Q+A)
Conference on the evening of Saturday, May 3. Hip Hop / Top 40s music,
dance floor, refreshments and entertainment will be provided. Further
promotional details will be distributed prior to the conference. To be
added to the guestlist for FREE admission to the party, please send your
guestlist with first, last names and email to antony@gapa.org with the
subject line: “GAPA College Night.” Please also bring your college id to
ensure free admission.
We hope to see you there!
