This week, groups 1 and 2 did a presentation on their chosen topics. Group 1: Jasmine Topic: 442nd Battalion Combat Team Group 2: Ann and Ming Topic: Personal Identification After the presentations, Mae Lee, Executive Director of the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA), spoke about specific advocacy work done by CPA in the past. Then, led by Lauren, we then did a team-building activity called "Bring Me, Tell Me (Draw Me)." This was a very fun activity where each team had to work together to get the answer to Lauren and it was a great way to review what we did during the semester. Last, to get students' feedback and ideas for next semester, in our groups, the mentors asked the students what they liked and disliked about this semester including the activities, speakers and discussions. We also asked the students for any ideas they wanted to see in the upcoming semester that we have not already done. Since some students have been with us for a few semesters now, we wanted their input in our planning process and to acquire new ideas that peak their interest.
