The Freeman Asian Scholars Association once again orchestrated the most delicious Late Night you ever did eat, brought to you by the freshman class of 2015!
It was a hotly anticipated event – observe the queue of hungry people!
On the menu:
Minced Pork Noodles with Mushrooms
Okonomiyaki
Chicken Adobo
Egg tarts
Bubble tea and Thai iced tea!
The ever-industrious team in charge of orders included Dat Tien Vu ’15 and Inha Cho ’15! There was much yelling, and much less dramatically, excel-sheet recording. Much credit to them under the most hectic of conditions (again, look at the queue!).
Ng Chun Kit ’15 and Jill Tan ’15, part of the high strung assembly line.
All in all, the event was a great success that fed lots of happy people who gave rave reviews of the food the next day, and brought the freshman class closer through planning this massive, but massively fun event!
Thank you upperclassmen and friends!
We honestly could not have done it without the help of all our Freeman upperclassmen, who shared recipes and organizational tips and helped out on the day, nor our friends from the Asian community who pitched in above the call of duty with cooking and serving. Lastly, much thanks goes out to Bon Apetit, AAA, German Haus, Chinese House, Japanese Hall, and 200 Church for letting us cook up a storm in your kitchens!

Welcome back, dear alumni and friends of Wesleyan! It was beautiful Homecoming weekend!
Freeman Asian Scholars Association community once again had a bake sale fund-raising event in order to support Freeman Asian Scholars Association Scholarship. Freeman Asian Scholars Association ExCo members committed their time and efforts to baking delicious cookies, egg tarts, cream puffs, and cup cakes. Not to mention their continuous work to set up the event and sell the goods!
Tabling both in the Usdan University Center and outside the Center, Freeman Asian Scholars Association caught the attention of many parents passing by with our beautiful(!) baked goods and Asian souvenirs.
Our bake sale raised a total of $592!!! We made a huge success in fund-raising thanks to the collaborative work of all the Freeman Asian Scholars Association members who helped out by baking goods, taking sale shifts, donating points, preparing Asian products, and stopping by and buying stuffs from our table.
Thank you all deeply!

Sept.7 Triple F @ Triple A house
A day after the official Freeman Asian Scholars Association Dinner, Freeman Asian Scholars Association members had another informal event to get together and socialize.
We set up Wii game set, various board games for fun, karaoki machine, and sweet hot chocolates with all the cookies and chips. Perfect arrangement for a night of fun games!
Freshman class made the best of the event, enjoying games and singing together till the last moment. The night was full of laughter, fun, food, and song.
We believe that holding a follow-up event after the official dinner is important in that more comfortable and informal place allows Freeman Asian Scholars Association members to know each other better and have fun.

A Sweet Victory – Freeman Asian Scholars Association Late-Night Fundraising
“Food is more than just something to satiate hunger… food brings people together… food reminds me of home”. This was written by an avid food enthusiast from the Freeman Asian Scholars Association Class of 2013 and appropriately captures the different aspects of Freeman Asian Scholars Association’s successful fundraising initiative.
On a Sunday night, Dec. 5th 2011, the Freeman Asian Scholars Association (FASA) organized a late-night Asian dessert sale, providing delectable sweet and savory treats to Wesleyan students needing an energy boost from studying. We aimed to raise funds for the Freeman Asian Scholars Association scholarship so that an international student may attend Wesleyan who does not come from the 11 countries covered by the scholarship.
The evening’s sweet delicacies included bubble tea, mochi, sago and egg tarts. We also served Mi Goreng, an Indonesian spicy fried noodle dish, for those in the mood for something savory. The late-night allowed students to take a break from work, sit and mingle with others in the lounge and experience different flavors from our home cultures.
The event’s delicious desserts were prepared and sold by the Freeman Asian Scholars Association Class of 2014, with the facilitative support of the Freeman Asian Scholars Association ExCo. From this, it became especially evident that the Freshman Class of 2014 is truly a tight-knit group of exuberant and hardworking culinary masters-in-the-making. This was, therefore, not just a success story for Freeman Asian Scholars Association, but for the current freshman class as well!
The Freeman Asian Scholars Association event had a great turnout and raised a grand total of $867.85! This sizeable bounty would not have been possible without the contributions of the Freeman Asian Scholars Association ExCo, FASA members, Gina and John Driscoll, Chinese House, German Haus, Full House, 200 Church, John Kehoe of Bon Appétit and all who took time to come down to spend money in support of us. We really appreciate all the support that has been given to help the Freeman Asian Scholars Association realize our mission, and we look forward to the continued involvement.
