Asian Pacific Islander Celebration

The Asian Pacific Islander Celebration (API Celebration) is an organization of resourceful advocacy, earnestly intent on challenging the social restraints and stereotypes to which Asians and Pacific Islanders have been subject during their integration into America and the Western world. Our program produces festive activities and exalts academic discourse, in hopes that the cultural interweaving may sow consideration, support, and an enduring sense of communio for our diverse campus community.

The API Celebration Week
This year marks St. Norbert College’s eighth week-long initiative to widen the campus’ appreciation of Asian/Pacific Islander culture and heritage. This year’s Celebration Week will feature a week long residency of the Tibetan Monks of the Drepung Loseling Monastery. It will be an exceptional week featuring a sacred music and dance performance, the creation of and lecture on the symbolism of the sand mandala.
