Sarah Moon, Graduate Assistant
I am a fourth-year doctoral student studying organ performance in the Jacobs School of Music. I grew up in Toledo, Ohio and completed my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Oberlin Conservatory. I would eventually like to teach music at the college level and continue playing for churches. I enjoy cooking, painting, traveling, kick-boxing, and discovering new places in Indiana.
Stephan Khensouri
I am a junior majoring in Dietetics and minoring in Japanese. I was born in Bloomington, Indiana, but I have lived in Columbus, Indiana all my life. I am involved with the Dietetics and Nutrition Science Club as the apparel coordinator. I love anything about food. Cooking, baking, or even just talking about it. I also like to run, play soccer, tennis, frisbee, and hide and and go seek in the dark. My plan is to attend graduate school for physician assistant.

I am a junior from Kansas and New York, majoring in East Asian Language and Culture- Japanese. I am very involved in the theatre department at IU, do special effects makeup on the side, and think that ballroom dance is pretty shnazzy. I'm the henna artist here at the ACC and at many of the Cultural events around campus.

I am very easy to get along with and love when people help me enjoy or entertain one of my interests!
Laura Baumann
I am a senior this year attending Bloomington High School North. For one of my classes I chose to sign up for senior internship where I was able to choose a site of my choice and intern there for the year, so I picked the Asian Culture Center. So far it has been a blast meeting and working with different people, helping out with events and being apart of the excitement here at the ACC. I plan on attending Indiana University next year and hopefully being able to continue working here with the other wonderful staff members.

I am a sophomore in the Kelley School of Business, majoring in Finance, Accounting and International Business with a minor in Chinese. I grew up in Carmel, Indiana, but in the future my goal is to work in Asia. In my free time, I like to nap, youtube surf, be goofy with friends, laze around and stare at beautiful fountain pens online. Try not to confuse me with the other Vivian!
