ASP Student Leadership<br />
ASP student leaders are those students who represent the ASP student body when coordinating<br />
campus and off-campus activities. These student leaders serve in various positions:<br />
• ASWU (Student Government)<br />
• Community Service Learning<br />
• Intramural Sports<br />
• Language in Motion<br />
• Language Learning Center<br />
• Outdoor <strong>Program</strong>s<br />
• Community Relations<br />
• Publications (Yearbook)<br />
• Willamette Events Board (WEB)<br />
• Capitol Community Television<br />
• Cultural Exchange<br />
• WU Travel Center<br />
• KMUZ Radio (Salem local radio station)<br />
Student leaders work to "form a good relationship with the Associated Students of Willamette<br />
University (ASWU), the local community, and TIUA," according to Etsuko Yagi, one<br />
of the first leaders. The Assistant Director of Student Life will serve as an advisor and will<br />
meet with the student leaders during their weekly meetings to discuss ASP/WU student<br />
needs, ideas, programs, and policies.<br />
Cultural Exchange <strong>Program</strong>:<br />
ASP students visit and share their cultures with school children, the elderly, and civic organizations<br />
throughout the local community. In addition, they also learn something from<br />
people in the community about <strong>American</strong> culture. It is a great chance to understand the<br />
U.S. outside of a college campus experience. Students may volunteer with the hungry and<br />
homeless, Salem schools, neighborhood associations, and other city groups. It is very<br />
important to learn from these exchanges: making comparisons and contrasts between our<br />
countries in order to increase global understanding, using English skills in practical situations,<br />
and learning to use local resources while educating people in the community.<br />
Language Tutor <strong>Program</strong>:<br />
The Language Tutoring <strong>Program</strong> (LTP) is a free program designed to connect Salem and<br />
Willamette University community members interested in learning about Japanese language<br />
and culture with ASP students. The lesson content and specific meeting times are decided<br />
by the community students and their tutors, and each group meets once a week on campus.<br />
The program is offered in the fall and spring semesters.<br />
