Remembering the First Asian and Asian-American Students
Tracing the history of early Asian and Asian-American students at Southwestern
As an Asian-American student, I have noticed that there is no place on campus where Asian or Asian-American students from the past are commemorated, so I became curious about my predecessors.
Rummaging through the Sou’wester yearbooks for weeks, I noted down the Asian students that were the first (or second) to do something as an Asian or Asian American at Southwestern.
The following captioned photographs provide a guide to the first Asians or Asian Americans at Southwestern.
Note that because these students did not then or now have a place to call their own on campus, we have placed them with a pin in the center of campus.
