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
Hello all!
It is Wednesday, halfway through the week. For some of you, you are already in Spring Break, :) For some of us, that is yet to come. Anyway, the weather has been nice here at Manhattan, Kansas; I am finding myself bubblier in my mood, LoL, not hard to tell that I am a warm-weather, sunny-day type of person.
Please help the community by sharing your inputs/votes in the survey (see the link below) regarding the SIG name change. This is the second survey in the process. If you recall, we had the first survey last year and the results were shared with you. This is a really short survey; it barely takes you 5 minutes to complete. It is completely anonymous, and the aggregated results will be reported back to you.
This member-only survey will remain open until March 17 (Sunday), 11:59pm CST.

Greetings! I hope the first day of March was good to you!
I am very excited to bring quite a few celebratory announcements to you!
First, congratulations to the awardees of our three REAPA awards.
Second, congratulations to the six graduate students who are the recipients of the REAPA Graduate Student Travel grants to attend this year's AERA. The checks are required to be picked up in person. More information will come to the recipients from the AERA.
Third, congratulations to our chair-elect, Dr. Yinying Wang, George State University. Dr. Wang will assume the role at the conclusion of the AERA 2024.
Fourth, we are extending the deadline for applying for the Goodwin & Spencer-Foundation Special Mentoring Session Grant at the AERA to Tuesday (March 5, 11:59pm CST). The special workshop/session is to be held on April 11 (Thur.), 4:20:5:50 pm local time (the location TBD). The applicants must be a current REAPA member, and when awarded, attending the workshop is required. To apply, please follow the link here: https://forms.gle/u8SUTsnzFgtJ73Zq8
Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my leadership team and everyone else that lent a hand in the award review process. I also wanted to thank our members for valuing this community and your right to vote, voicing your choice! It is each of you that makes REAPA a strong community!
I hope we will see each other at Philadelphia!
Hugs,
Hello all!It's Friday! For many of us, it is the time of the fall semester we are feeling it the most ... so many things need to be done. A weekend sounds really good. :)Thank you very much for your candidate feedback in the survey. We listened and wanted to share what we have learned from you. There are important elements you voiced that we stand for as a SIG and you seek for as a SIG member (Please see the 1st attachment). For the next step, a follow-up survey will be distributed (very soon) to seek your thoughts on the new possible names suggested. Your collective wisdom has been instrumental in moving us forward! THANK YOU!
