Events

A5 events are determined and planned by the members. Each year the group decides to do different things. In the past A5
had held a Filipino Christmas Dinner Party, gave chop-stick lessons, celebrated Deepwali the Festival of Lights, distributed red
envelopes for Chinese New Year, saw a Buddhist Dance Performance, played with Chinese Yo-yos at Springfest, and brought various speakers to campus.
A5 also works closely with the other diversity organizations and co-sponsors many events with other Allegheny groups.
