A n : U bv Krvs Members of the Adventist Stu- dents for Christ organization came together to further their interest and knowledge of the Christian faith. The University ' s chapter, just one of many throughout the country, was com- prised of dedicated members who shared a common interest in height- ening their spirituality and serving the community. The organization was affiliated with the Seventh-Day Adventist denomination, but new- comers are always welcome, encour- aged LeticiaAddai, a sociology junior. Because ASCwasonly in its second year of existence at the University, its members focused on making itself known on campus and inviting new students to take part in activities ASC was affiliated with. Lakisha Hull, an architecture and urban planning stu- dent and ASC ' s external vice presi- de nt, explained the goals of the orga- nization: Our activities are produc- inga group of diverse students who are willing to work together despite the struggles new organizations have to deal with. Not only did members of Adventist Students for Christ bond in spiritual ways, they also participated in various social events and retreats throughout the year. The organization sponsored social get-togethers each Friday in or- der to kick off the weekend, and Addai mentioned that ASC organized two camping retreats, one during the fall and the other during winter term. In addition to member retreats and so- cials, ASC recruited prospective mem- bers in various ways. Pastor Danny Hall added, Several students offer free massages and vegetarian lunches at their apartments, and there has been a great response to that. Hall be- lieved that these types of events in- creased ASC ' s name recognition and helped in attracting students to cam- pus worship hours and sessions led by ASC-sponsored speakers, like Pastor Nixon from Andrews University. ASC members became involved through weekly Bible studies, which were held every Tuesday evening. Small groups of students were able to learn about and reflect upon the teach- ings of Christ through these sessions. To help members meet each other while learning about the Seventh-Day Adventist faith, ASC held church ser- vices in the Union each Sunday morn- ing. Such events, Hull noted, were aimed at connecting real-life situa- tions that students faced with their spirituality. While the Adventist Students for Christ had a personal focus that ap- pealed to many members, Addai also explained that group was just a chance for some fun Christian fellowship among University students and also with other surrounding colleges. A special characteristic about ASC in- volvement was that it was not just limited to small group Bible studies or even interactions with only Michigan students, but that members were able to further their Christian interests by networking with college students around the state. Hull summed up the benefits of being a member of Adventist Students for Christ by commenting, I love being a member of ASC and I hope that the community receives a bless- ing from the projects we do. embers of Adventist Students for Chris participate in a group outing. The group held special events for members throughout the year to promote camaraderie and fellowship. photo courtesy of Adventist Students for Christ I D Front Row: George Wilk, Leticia Addai, Samuel Koran, TengPipar, Justin Baughergaw 2l Marie Prosper, MericarmenPeralta.GarveyCummings, ! .1111.1 Heilii;.

' Tt their weekly coffee hour, two members of JSA nverse. Every week the coffee hour was held at a fferent location, and was open to all people inter- red in Japanese culture. HO by Bobby Green by (Jennifer The Japanese Student Association, a non-profit organization, grew sig- nificantly in membership and had a successful year. The organization was not just for Japanese students, but for anyone in- terested in learning about the Japa- nese culture. Its membership rose to over 1 50 members and included stu- dents from around the world. President Jason Wong, a junior economics and Japanese major, stated, We have social, cultural, and educa- tional functions. We meet weekly, and once a student becomes a member, we pair them up with somebody from another culture. Japanese students can learn English from English speakers, and English speakers can learn Japa- nese. The association also got involved with the community. Sophomore LSA member Mitsuko Wakabi said, In March we had the Japan Cultural Fes- tival in the Union and more than 800 people attended, including President Bellinger. We did a cultural show and demonstrated origami, Japanese mu- sic, dance, karate, animate, and pro- vided Japanese food. The best part was that the whole event was free for students.

Be- cause the group was unaffiliated with the Uni- versity, they had to locate practice areas on their own. photo by David Wolfe The Women ' s Cheer Club, founded in 1997, was very active on campus last year. Unlike the varsity cheerleaders, they focused mainly on the traditional aspects of the sport, such as cheering and stunting. They performed at events such as men ' s lacrosse games, men ' s soccer games, and Kids Fair. Third year team member and Kinesiology junior Kelly Vaughn stated, We are basically a group of people who love to cheer and miss that experience from high school. The cheer club gives us the opportunity to continue this even though we may not be five feet tall and 100 pounds. Several members of the 12-person squad also joined the Michigan women ' s national competition squad that was compiled of varsity as well as club team members. The cheer club, con- stantly evolving with an increasingly dedicated core of girls, had our best year yet, Vaughn said. Organizations 365
