Diversity Week Highlights Unity on USU Campus

Themed "Pieces of the Puzzle," Diversity Week focused on the interconnected relationships across campus

This year’s Diversity Week focused on the variety of organizations that exist on campus and in the world that we have access to. Many events were held highlighting things currently happening in the world, such as the showing of the documentary “Congo and the Cost of Consumerism,” or the keynote speech on racism.

The keynote speaker of this week was Joe Feagin, winner of the Harvard Alumni Lifetime Achievement Award, nominee of the Pulitzer Prize, author of Ghetto Revolts, and current professor at Texas A&M. Specifically, Feagan spoke on racism on college campuses. He had a book signing after his speech.

Said Krista Bustamante, ASUSU Vice President of Diversity and Organizations, “This year, we really wanted to focus the week’s events on the diversity that we, as USU students, have contact with. Our school does have a lot of representation from various countries, ethnicities, cultures, lifestyles, and hobbies. Diversity Week is all about letting people experience this.”

Throughout the week, a poetry, art, and photo contest was on display in the TSC. The theme for the contest was “Pieces of the Puzzle,” also the theme of the week. The Thai Student Association had a cookout on the patio on Wednesday afternoon, and the Independent Music Club had a music marathon that night.

Associated Students of Utah State University (ASUSU) is an organization for the entire student body acting as the liaison with University staff, faculty, and administration. The leaders of ASUSU work closely with the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, whose mission is to strive for excellence in holistic student development. “We intentionally create meaningful learning opportunities that teach and challenge students though student leadership positions, service opportunities, leadership training, development, and campus activities,” said a representative.

Local Organization Teaches Smart Investing

CVAIA's goal is financial independence through passive income

Dear Emilie,

The Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA) is a local organization focused on achieving financial independence through passive income. Passive income is money that supplements one's existing income without active recruitment of it. Members of CVAIA meet together to learn new knowledge through speakers and other lectures, while sharing their existing knowledge about investments and entrepreneurship with each other.

President and founder Preston Parker said that he started the club to meet a need he saw in the community. "I see a lot of people that are unhappy with their jobs. If they utilize passive income correctly, they will be able to work the jobs that make them happy without worrying about paying the bills. This principle is what CVAIA is built upon," said Parker.

CVAIA’s meetings are held every other Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Cache County Chamber of Commerce (160 N. Main St., Logan, UT). All people with interest in the subject are welcome to join. There is no cost to join CVAIA. More information can be found at http://www.cvaia.com/.

Readers of the Herald Journal would find this interesting and relevant to their lives due to the subject matter that CVAIA addresses. There are many in the community that would benefit from learning more about investing wisely, and supplementing their income through passive measures. For more information, feel free to contact me.

Recognizing Opportunity: CVAIA
Local Organization Promotes Passive Income, Financial Independence

LOGAN, Utah— The Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA) works to promote financial independence through utilizing passive income. Local members of the community make up the organization, meeting every other Thursday to discuss subjects such as smart investing and money management. They meet based on the idea that a person should have the job that he loves. Passive income is what makes this possible.

Said Preston Parker, president of CVAIA, " We believe people should be able to spend their time doing something they love, not just a job that provides an income." CVAIA teaches their members how to manage their money, time, and assets in the most effective manner.

CVAIA meets every other Thursday. The next meeting is on October 1, 2009, at 7 pm in the Cache County Chamber of Commerce.
