Event Highlights

Bikes for Tykes thumbnail

Bikes for Tykes

Rose students always love an exciting challenge. Bikes for Tykes is an annual service event that allows students to apply their building skills to give back to the community! This event partners Rose students with Chances and Services for Youth (CASY) and Bikes for Tykes to provide bicycles for children/teens in need at little-to-no cost for Christmas. SASE volunteers as a group for this event annually, working in teams to assemble both adult and child-sized bikes for the Vigo County community. This event brings all of campus together to build bikes while connecting us to both each other and the local community at large, reminding us of the little things we can do to bring joy to and help others!

Company Talks thumbnail

Company Talks

Obtaining personal interactions with company representatives is critical to helping students both understand what their future career may look like as well as what different career journeys look like. Whether it is about the best way to interview, organize a resume, or insider tips about industry, we greatly appreciate the opportunity to have worked with so many amazing companies in the past. Their dedication to uplifting young professionals like ourselves while recognizing early talent from the Asian diaspora is invaluable. Face-to-face conversations with company representatives have always been a staple of SASE RHIT, and we are beyond grateful to have benefited from years of advice! We hope to continue to make strong partnerships in the future that connect enterprising companies with dedicated, curious students like ourselves.

Cherry Blossom thumbnail

Cherry Blossom

Cherry blossoms are beloved by so many around the world, and we are no different. Our Cherry Blossom festival is a rotational event that we put on in the spring every few years, often corresponding with Rose's own cherry blossom grove blooming. This campus-wide event features choreographed dances by Rose's Dance Company, a yearly raffle, food, and presentations on the cherry blossoms from around the world. While enjoying good eats and bold performances, everyone is able to enjoy this beautiful cultural celebration!

Lunar New Year thumbnail

Lunar New Year

Lunar New Year is one of the most important, most widely-celebrated holidays in Asia, and at SASE RHIT, we wanted to bring those celebrations to our campus. Since our founding, we have celebrated Lunar New Year every year with musical and dance performances, cultural crafts including paper lanterns and wishing stars, and delicious, catered Chinese food. This event is open to all students and faculty, and our attendance has increased steadily year-by-year, with 2025's celebration seeing 34% more attendance as compared to 2024.

Boba Night thumbnail

Boba Night

On our campus, boba is scarce. The nearest boba shop is hours away. We solve the problem. With our quarterly Boba Night, we bring homemade boba tea free of charge to every attendee, bridging cultural and economic barriers. Hosting over 10% of the on-campus student body and having tripled in attendance since its conception in 2022, Boba Night is our fastest-growing event. We want to continue to make boba an accessible, delicious experience for all.

Onigiri Action thumbnail

Onigiri Action

Each fall, we join the global Onigiri Action campaign where we turn Japanese rice balls called onigiri into a powerful act of giving. In this event, all students are invited to craft onigiri and take photos with them. We then post these photos on social media with the tag #OnigiriAction, which triggers a donation of five school meals to children in need for every photo shared. In our last event, we were able to provide 540 school meals in an hour with the help of all of our members. With this event, we are able to blend cultural exchange with philanthropy as we make a real difference for countless children worldwide.

Tastes Around the World thumbnail

Tastes Around the World

As part of a campus-wide event, we join other clubs in preparing various signature dishes from our heritage. SASE showcases flavorful dishes such as mochi and yakisoba handmade by the executive board and member volunteers as we invite students to explore new tastes and the culture behind them. Hand-in-hand with other cultural clubs, we transform a shared meal into an opportunity for cultural exploration for everyone.

Spring Carnival thumbnail

Spring Carnival

In Terre Haute, Indiana where tabletop games are king, we wanted to introduce board and card games from our own cultures. Offering games like mahjong, kendama, and jianzi, Spring Carnival is a new event, having launched just last year. Attendees can also take a break from the games. Providing a nostalgic experience for those far from home while offering new experiences to others, we prepare foods like sticky rice, appam, and scallion pancakes for all. At Spring Carnival, we aim to foster a strong sense of community, sharing the traditions that shaped us.

Trunk or Treat thumbnail

Trunk or Treat

On Halloween, SASE comes together with other groups on campus to celebrate community (and candy). With our annual Trunk or Treat event, we help transform the parking lot into a lively space with decorated cars, candy costumes, and laughter. Along with other organizations on campus, SASE designs themed trunks, hands out treats, and welcomes families from the local community. Bringing together students with all kinds of different hobbies, Trunk or Treat gives us the chance to celebrate creativity, teamwork, and cultural connection. Through this event, SASE fosters community both on campus and beyond, reminding us that bringing joy and doing service go hand in hand.

National and Regional Conferences thumbnail

National and Regional Conferences

At SASE National and Regional Conferences, SASE members from across the country come together. Chapters meet to share experiences, attend professional workshops, and explore new career opportunities. Students connect directly with recruiters, learning to navigate and build confidence in professional spaces. Between panels and networking sessions, attendees meet peers from other chapters, forming friendships that can last beyond the three-day event. At our conferences, we are given a chance to grow, collaborate, and see the passion that drives our community together.

Skating thumbnail

Skating

As third spaces fade, it is important to explore things that bring us together. SASE Roller Skating offers more than just a night out for our members. In our school's stressful and fast-paced environment, roller skating is a welcome break from the grind where attendees can skate, learn to skate, fall gracefully, and bond with others in the community. These adventures off campus allow us to explore new experiences and develop better work-life balance.

Trees thumbnail

Trees

Who does not love trees? Our chapter has always had an amazing time volunteering at the Annual Fall Tree Planting hosted by TREES Inc. Bringing together students, community members, and local organizations, SASE is able to make a lasting impact on the environment here in Terre Haute. Working alongside volunteers from all over, the day is full of teamwork, laughter, and muddy hands. Our members have planted dozens of trees, supporting TREES Inc. mission of creating a more sustainable and vibrant city. We look forward to continuing our partnership with TREES, and we hope more people will be inspired to give back to their communities as well!

Fall Day of Service thumbnail

Fall Day of Service

Every year, we partake in one of Rose-Hulman's most impactful annual traditions: Fall Day of Service. This event brings together hundreds of students to support the Terre Haute community through hands-on service projects. Working on a new project each year, we always love the opportunity to both make a meaningful impact on our community while bonding with our chapter. Last fall, our members were able to help the seniors in our community clean and repair their yard by partnering with a local service organization. Seeing community members' reactions to our work means a lot to us, and we cannot wait to see what project we will take on next year!

Spring Day of Service thumbnail

Spring Day of Service

Spring Day of Service is one of the most rewarding campus traditions of the year. Bringing together students and giving back to both Rose-Hulman and the greater Terre Haute community, our chapter loves working side-by-side to strengthen our connections and give back. This past year, over 300 students across campus were able to join in, helping with everything from neighborhood cleanups to providing assistance at the local food pantry. Spring Day of Service is a fun and energizing day, making a positive impact one project at a time.

Night Market thumbnail

Night Market

An invigorating, aesthetic, welcoming event, Night Market seeks to recreate the joyful and exciting atmospheres of Asian street night markets. Bringing together numerous community clubs, Night Market pulls all of campus together to celebrate the vibrancy of culture. Through various activities like learning K-Pop and Bollywood dances and playing mahjong, we hope this experience will help open our community's eyes to the joy we experience every day. Serving homemade, popular traditional dishes, Night Market creates a bustling atmosphere that brightens Rose's campus - even at night.

Aizu Bowling thumbnail

Aizu Bowling

Our SASE chapter loves to facilitate fun events for our members, and as an organization that supports and uplifts Asian students, we love getting the opportunity to connect with the Japanese University of Aizu exchange students in the spring. When engineering gets rough, we try to make time to take our members off-campus to give those without a car a chance to spend some time away to bond over our different cultural experiences.
