The Story of UT Tyler’s Asian Student Association

By JINGYUAN GUO/ Talon Contributor

Mass communication major Jingyuan Guo explores creation of the Asian Student Association at UT Tyler and how Asian students turn to it to bond with one another. 

The documentary features interviews with Ethan Huynh, who helped establish the organization in 2022, and current ASA president Sovan Ven, who shared how he became the current president.

Sovan notes that there are not many Asian people on campus, and they are the minority inside minorities. He believes that the ASA serves as a group of people with similar backgrounds who can come together and find out more about one another and Asian cultures.
