On February 19, 1942, the issue of Executive Order 9066 led to the mass relocation and internment of hundred of thousands of Japanese Americans. Manzanar is one of the couple Japanese incarceration camps that remains and marks the epitome of societal racial prejudice and injustice in America. On Saturday April 29th, we will attend the annual Manzanar Pilgrimage at the actual site of the camp and learn about its history to pay tribute to this past, but never forgotten, national tragedy. Then we will participate in the program offered there at the site called Manzanar at Dusk where we can discuss and listen to stories from former internees and other students/teachers/community members. The trip is sure to be a profound learning experience and even more applicable to the contemporary racial tensions in today's society so don't miss out on this opportunity and join us!!

This Sunday, March 12th.... the Intercollegiate Nikkei Council (INC) have recruited all the secretly unbelievably talented Nikkei students from across the whole Southern California to participate in their 5th Annual Nikkei Voices!!! Nikkei Voices is a talent competition/philanthropy event that serves to showcase the talents of the Nikkei's from every NSU in California (yes there are other NSU besides from the one and only UCSD NSU). Besides from the spectacles of this statewide Nikkei talent show, all proceeds collected from Nikkei Voices will be given to Asian for Miracle Marrow Matches, aka A3M, to support and raise awareness for bone marrow donation that can potentially save the lives of blood cancer patients. So come support the cause and cheer for your school's Nikkei !!! :D

It’s that time of year again! NSU has a family system where the club is split into three families. Each family has their own family heads and within each family, there are siblings (Big-Little system). The three families go head to head to head in a friendly competition for the Triple Crown. Each quarter has its own Triple Crown event. In the fall, we have a scavenger hunt that takes place on campus. In the winter we have our version of Iron Chef, where we invite Alumni to be the judges. Finally, in the spring we have the Family Olympics, where we compete in numerous activities that involve plenty of teamwork. We are looking forward to this year and may the best family win! Here are the contenders for this year:
