Hello lovely people in the community!
As I am getting ready for tomorrow's flight to Philadelphia, I wanted to double the excitement of knowing that we will share the space and enjoy our time together by sending out this: We heard you and you have chosen a new name for the SIG. Thanks everyone who has shared your perspectives with us throughout the process!
The SIG name change survey part 2 results are attached. The option has won the most votes is: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Education and Research. We, the leadership team, couldn't be more excited about this name that speaks to what this SIG means to the community.
Best,
GL
Greetings!
AERA is right around the corner! As many of us will be traveling to Philadelphia in a few days, I would like to use this opportunity to do a final shout-out for all SIG-related events and sessions as well as some other announcements.
FIRST, please support your peers and our graduate students by attending their sessions/presentations with the SIG.
SECOND, please join us at the SIG Business Meeting (April 11, 2:30-4 pm EST, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor Level 4, Franklin 3). The awardees will be officially recognized. And our outstanding panelists will share their perspectives and tips on THE ART OF MENTORING.
Third, we definitely want to see you at the SIG social on April 11 (Thursday), 7:30-9 pm EST, @Ocean Harbor, located within a short walking distance from the main conference site. Thank you for having made your RSVP as we use it to work with the restaurant. If you are bringing a guest/guests, we respectfully ask you to take care of their expenses. We request your understanding that we are a small SIG, and we are doing our best to have some celebratory time with you. Also, we just learned that they have some transaction fee if a credit card is used to pay, so you may want to bring some extra cash.
FOURTH, the graduate student ONLY social is on Friday (April 12), 4:30p. Wanna some boba tea, ice cream... please join our Graduate Student Reps team @Snow Show (the location). Don't hesitate to reach out to Jonathon (jonathaonsun03@gmail.com) or Odorico (os2302@nyu.edu) for details.
Fifth on the list, I hope you can lend a hand to a peer who is looking for participants for a study that focuses on the stresses Asian and Asian Americans have experienced as teachers in PK-12 schools.
We are excited for seeing you and celebrating with you at Philadelphia! On behalf of the leadership team, I wanted to thank you for being a member of the SIG, for every lovely message you have sent our way, for the time and support you have given to this community, especially during those challenging times, for listening closely and offering your constructive feedback and critiques gently but honestly, for showing me your grace during my tenure as the SIG chair as I am learning to better lead and serve, for ... we just have so much to thank you for!
Sending my hugs! See you in Philadelphia!
Hello REAPA community!
I hope your week has gone well, and yes, we have arrived at Friday evening. I was reminded by my students this week that we are concluding the 10th week of the semester! WHAT~~~
Please allow me to be a little hyper, despite the fact that I had a really long day, because of all the wonderful news that I am going to share with you here! I will do my best to not burden you with a long email; that means a request for a few more clicks of yours into the attachments for the specifics.
FIRST, congratulations to 17 members who will receive the workshop grant for the Mentoring Programming sponsored by Dr. Lin A Goodwin and the Spencer Foundation.
SECOND, we invite you to join us for the SIG social to be held on April 11, 7:30-9 pm EST, @Ocean Harbor, located within a short walking distance from the main conference site. Please RSVP by April 2.
