Hello HKSA members! If you are in Hong Kong this summer, you can consider applying to the Hong Kong Future Leaders Award. The winner will get a scholarship and get to shadow a CXO from one of the six mentoring companies: AXA, CX, PCCW, New World Development, and the Lawsgrsoup for 5 days. Enrollment is on their website: https://www.ctgoodjobs.hk/r/hkfla2019-hk-career-centers !

The Hong Kong Future Leaders Award is organized by CTgoodjobs for Hong Kong students from all around the world! The campaign offers opportunity to students to showcase their potentials to potential employers and to earn challengeable experiences.

The Asian American Studies field has grown tremendously since its inception in the 1968 Third World Liberation movement. Georgetown has not grown with it.

Modeled after similar projects at Penn, Duke, Amherst, Yale, Dartmouth, Williams, and more, “Georgetown Doesn’t Teach Me” is a photo campaign advocating for more courses and tenure-line faculty specializing in Asian American Studies at Georgetown. Currently, we only have one tenure-line professor specializing in Asian America and have had only one, or sometimes no, classes offered on the Asian American experience.

Nine years ago, President DeGioia claimed the university would “explore creating new programs” in African American, Asian American and Hispanic/Latinx Studies. Now, we are calling for Georgetown to live up to its promises.

If Georgetown’s goal is to educate its students to be responsible and active participants in civic life, its current lack of ethnic studies courses is wholly incompatible with this. Our photo campaign serves to remind Georgetown that it is time to tell Asian American stories.

Thank you to all those who came to our Little Hong Kong event tonight!

Look forward to all these events in the coming future for API Heritage Month 2018, as we celebrate API Heritage and take the time to reflect on the sociopolitical issues that affect AAPI communities. Thank you to APILF for their amazing effort in putting this together!!

[EDIT]: VSA's Tea Talk is in Arrupe MPR, NOT HFSC Herman Room.

WELCOME TO API HERITAGE MONTH 2018! We are delighted to use the month of November to celebrate API peoples and cultures and to commemorate our heritages. We hope that this month we can all take time to reflect on the sociopolitical issues affecting AAPI communities as we celebrate our multi-faceted and intersectional identities.

Please check out the many events being hosted by API orgs across campus this month! See individual Facebook events for more details (note: event details subject to change).
