HOMECOMING COUNTDOWN DAY 1: QUEEN'S INVOLVEMENT
Angelique is a Speech, Language, Hearing Sciences major and former Secretary of the Filipino American Student Association under AsACC. She works for UConn Foundation as a fundraiser and actually raised the most money for the University last 2018-2019 school year. Talking to Alumni and friends of the University is her thing. She’s trying to help keep UConn’s prestige as one of the top 25 public institutions in the nation. Go huskies!!
HOMECOMING COUNTDOWN DAY 2: KINGS'S INVOLVEMENT
Here at UConn, Raven is a captain of the UConn Cheerleading Team and has been for two years. His passion for cheerleading has allowed him to show his charisma and passion on both the field and court. Raven is also a brother of Lambda Phi Epsilon International Fraternity Inc. (an Asian-interest fraternity on campus) and serves as the External Vice President. Through Lambdas, Raven has immersed himself into the Asian and Asian-American community at UConn and has grown to find his true home away from home.
HOMECOMING COUNTDOWN DAY 3: WHY WE'RE RUNNING
Geli: After I became more involved in AsACC, I got introduced to Angela Rola, who quite literally has helped shape me into the strong, confident leader I am today. The reason I decided to run was because I figured I could be the one to give people a voice. It was through that empowerment that I found a purpose— believing in something and being unapologetic about it!
Raven: I came to UConn both as a transfer student and athlete. Because of my busy schedule, I didn’t fully immerse myself into AsACC as much as I would've liked. Being so involved outside of AsACC, I want to use my candidacy as a platform to represent our cultural center and give it the recognition it deserves to the rest of the UConn community.
HOMECOMING COUNTDOWN DAY 4: INTRODUCING THE QUEEN
Hello everyone! My name is Angelique, but everyone in AsACC calls me ‘Geli.’ I’m Filipino-American repping our cultural center because everyone deserves to know what AsACC is all about. All of the cultural centers provide us with the resources to feel comfortable and successful. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. It just might change your life!
