One such recognition is the President's Volunteer Service Award, which students earn upon completion of 100 hours of community service during the year. Residential Programs Your residence hall will sponsor lots of activities and events. There are many different opportunities, for example, study breaks, coffee house, dances, special dinners, movie nights, trips to Portland or to the coast, ski trips, wilderness hikes or overnight retreats. Your RA's/CM's will sponsor programs around a variety of topics, such as: "American and International Values" "College Study Skills" "Career Opportunities" "Volunteer Programs in Salem" "Intercultural Communication & Relationships" "Homesickness and How to Deal With It" Intramural Sports (casual sports competitions among students) Intramural sports are another way to get to know students on campus. You can play: 3 on 3 basketball, soccer, volleyball, kickball, softball, etc. Some of the teams are co-ed (boys and girls on the same team). Join any sport in which you are interested. You can even learn new sports -- it's OK to play even if you are a beginner! Page 34
ASP Student Leadership ASP student leaders are those students who represent the ASP student body when coordinating campus and off-campus activities. These student leaders serve in various positions: • ASWU (Student Government) • Community Service Learning • Intramural Sports • Language in Motion • Language Learning Center • Outdoor Programs • Community Relations • Publications (Yearbook) • Willamette Events Board (WEB) • Capitol Community Television • Cultural Exchange • WU Travel Center • KMUZ Radio (Salem local radio station) Student leaders work to "form a good relationship with the Associated Students of Willamette University (ASWU), the local community, and TIUA," according to Etsuko Yagi, one of the first leaders. The Assistant Director of Student Life will serve as an advisor and will meet with the student leaders during their weekly meetings to discuss ASP/WU student needs, ideas, programs, and policies. Cultural Exchange Program: ASP students visit and share their cultures with school children, the elderly, and civic organizations throughout the local community. In addition, they also learn something from people in the community about American culture. It is a great chance to understand the U.S. outside of a college campus experience. Students may volunteer with the hungry and homeless, Salem schools, neighborhood associations, and other city groups. It is very important to learn from these exchanges: making comparisons and contrasts between our countries in order to increase global understanding, using English skills in practical situations, and learning to use local resources while educating people in the community. Language Tutor Program: The Language Tutoring Program (LTP) is a free program designed to connect Salem and Willamette University community members interested in learning about Japanese language and culture with ASP students. The lesson content and specific meeting times are decided by the community students and their tutors, and each group meets once a week on campus. The program is offered in the fall and spring semesters. Page 35
