Nikkei Student Union is a club of close-knit friendships, fun events, and pride in the Japanese American community. We gather every other week to catch up on holidays in Japan and get to know each other better through mini games and our post-meeting fundraisers. Throughout the year we host many events, including Winter Retreat, Culture Night, Banquet, Smash/League tournaments, holiday themed activities (i.e. Christmas lights & pumpkin patches), and fundraisers at delicious Riverside hot spots! If you're a fan of late night ramen and boba runs with friends then this is the club for you! We take pride in our inclusive and close community of members, but we like to include some friendly competition with our three "families": Ichiban, Chikara, and Raijin. Find your family with our Big & Little mentorship program, where newer members can match with their favorite older members and join a family line to hang out with. SO MANY lifelong friendships form through Bigs and Littles! No Japanese heritage or prior knowledge of Japanese is required -- absolutely everyone is welcome! Thank you for checking us out, and we hope to see you soon!
