The annual dinner and program put on by the Asian Christian Fellowship (ACF) took place on Saturday, March 6 at the Seminary. Approximately 20 students from ACF planned the celebration, which was attended by about 100 people. The program consisted of traditional dancing and singing from various Asian cultures as well as a fashion show of Asian costumes hailing from different periods and countries. Junior Na Vang, a Hmong student born in Thailand, was Master of Ceremonies for the event and was one of the ACF students involved in the planning. "All the performers were students from Bethel," he said. "We just asked the students what they could do, and the people who like to do traditional dancing could dance and the people who like to write poetry could recite it." Vang has been involved with previous Asian Heritage Celebrations and says he was very pleased with the result of this year's program. "This year has definitely improved over last year and the years before that. Every year we come together to celebrate Asian culture and we're getting better at celebrating." In fact, this celebration is what draws the students to continue to plan the program every year, according to Vang. He said, "We enjoy doing this because it's not everyday that you see this. It's one of the few times wc get to celebrate our home cultures." But while the show obviously has appeal to Asian students, it also interests others at Bethel. Junior Morgan Gettle attended the show and said, "It enhanced how I view Asian culture. As a white person, you don't get exposed to that very often. The part that had the biggest impact on me .was the fashion expo, and to be able to see what they actually wore." He added, "The Indian dance was unbelievable. It's amazing to watch." The enjoyment and experience of Asian culture by non- Asian students is one of the main goals of the program, said Vang. "It's not just about being Asian; it's about celebrating Asian culture. It's like going to someone's birthday party: it's not your birthday, but you still celebrate with them." Assessment Day: learning from 2003 and preparing for this year Air Band draws big crowds and big laughs Krista Clark News Editor "It's the easiest way to consolidate the information we want to find out," said Rich Sherry, dean of faculty, growth and assessment. He was referring to Assessment Day, which will take place on April 28 this year. Last spring was the first time Bethel organized this sort of student analysis since 1989. In light of the success of Assessment Day 2003, Sherry, as chair of the College Program Assessment Committee, has coordinated this day again and is hopeful of gaining such helpful results as were obtained from the assessment last spring. For those who arc unaware, Assessment Day is one day in which all classes are cancelled so staff and faculty can run a variety of surveys, tests, and interviews among the entire student body. Its purpose is implied in the name: to assess student growth intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. More than 1500 students participated in Assessment Day last spring, providing members of the Assessment Committee with valuable information for seeing how Bethel impacts students. In addition, the results created ideas for change that will ensure the institution is having the beneficial ' impact it desires for the student body. So what was discovered' because of Assessment Day? According to Sherry, quite a variety of things were learned based upon which test or survey students took.
