On Friday, Sept. 12, the EPIC Club hosted its first event of the year at Shima Green from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Eighty-four students attended the RSVP-required event, which provided boba for registered guests.
Throughout the Boba Bash, the club served snacks, including cookies, chips and fresh popcorn.
EPIC Club President Brandon Yang, a second-year member of the club, walked around the event to hand out popcorn to students who had not gotten up and waited in line.
“I’m really happy with how it is going so far. When you’re with these people, you really feel like you’re in a community, so I’m just a person who wants to give back, so I wanted to give back however I could,” Yang said.
The event included multiple games, including Big Jenga, Big Uno, “Boba” pong, Big Connect Four, spoons, and corn hole. Club leaders also included three group games to bring all the members together to play.
The EPIC Learning Community (which includes the EPIC Club) at Delta College was first launched in Spring 2016. EPIC works to help students grow as individuals and improve their leadership abilities so they may better serve their communities, according to Delta College website.
The EPIC Clubs’ goal is to enhance and assist students in reaching their long-term objectives. Members will be able to create relationships while giving back to the community, all while honoring Asian and Pacific Islander (API) cultures.
“They always help us. They also share with us scholarship programs and stuff like that, and I was able to get one of them, I think it’s called AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) scholarship, and I took advantage of that, and thanks to them, I got it, and it motivates me to keep going. Like, hey, look at me, I didn’t know I can come back to school and do this, and look at me. Even if I graduate, I feel like I should get back here, and you know, like try and get involved as much,” said Biak Sui, 25, who came back to Delta College due to the EPIC Club.
