Lindenwood student group builds a home for Asian and Pacific Islander cultures

ST. CHARLES, Missouri — A student organization at Lindenwood University is creating more opportunities for students to meet and share Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures on campus. The group’s largest event of the semester, a karaoke night, is planned for Nov. 18.
Former Lindenwood student Daniel Kwon started the organization with faculty adviser Haw Cheng, an assistant professor of physics. Club President Owen Payne said students from different academic programs, teams and backgrounds have found a place to meet through the organization.
The club has teamed with other student organizations on activities. For the Nov. 18 event, it plans food, games and karaoke in the Anheuser-Busch Leadership Room.
Payne told the university that he wants students to feel comfortable sharing their own experiences and asking questions about the different cultures represented in the club.
