​Penn State’s Black Caucus, the representative body for students of colors and their clubs, held its 9th annual Ashe Awards Dec. 7 in Alumni Hall. “Ashe” is a Yoruba word that means conceiving power or producing change. The first Ashe Awards show was in 2009, with 300 students in attendance. Nine years later, the Ashe Awards continue to be a positive staple in the community

​The words “Cheers to 50 Years” hung in front of a glimmering gold backdrop at the entrance of Heritage Hall in the HUB-Robeson center Friday evening to welcome students and alumni to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Frederick Douglass Association’s founding.

 The Black Caucus, Latino Caucus, and Asian Pacific American Caucus released a statement along with the Multicultural Greek Council, the National Panhellenic Greek Council, and Lambda Sigma Upsilon Latino Fraternity Inc. condemning Trump’s recent executive orders on immigration, which have temporarily banned both travel from seven Muslim-majority nations and the U.S. refugee resettlement program, unless the refugee in question is of non-Muslim faith.
