MOST OUTSTANDING Organization NOMINEE
Loyola Asian Student Organization (LASO)
What are the purpose and goal(s) of your organization, and how has it met or exceeded those goals?
The Loyola Asian Student Organization is dedicated to promoting the awareness of Asian culture on Loyola's campus, as well as within the New Orleans community. We have met these goals by rebuilding our organization in the 2025-2026 school year by hosting events, engaging with members, and collaborating with other Asian organizations.
Address how your organization was outstanding in the following areas: recruitment, marketing, outreach to campus community, use of resources, officer training and event planning.
Our organization hosted fun events on campus to recruit new members, such as our Lunar New Year event, and we use our Instagram page and GroupMe to relay important news to our members. We also used our school's provided resources to fund our campus events.
How did the organization work together to maximize strengths and overcome weaknesses?
Since LASO is in a process of rebuilding its organization and recruiting new members, our e-board comprising five people worked diligently to plan events and connect with potential members.
Provide specific examples of how the student group demonstrated growth and development in the 2024-2025 academic year.
LASO began with a new e-board later on in the 2025 academic year and recruited new members through events and raised money for our organization in a short period of time.
