It is also an opportunity, as Shelley Lee, professor of history and chair of comparative American studies, noted in her recent op-ed in the <em>�鶹��Ƶ Review</em>, to recognize that while we live in “attention- and resource-scarce times, when it feels like everything is at stake all at once, simply learning, valuing, and wanting to know about one another does seem both a hopelessly naïve and insurmountably tall order. But this may also be our only way forward.” Advance registration <strong>for the webinar is required</strong>. </p> <p><strong>On Wednesday, March 31 at 12 p.m.</strong>, the <a href="/mrc" target="_blank">Multicultural Resource Center</a> welcomes all students, staff, and faculty to a panel discussion featuring �鶹��Ƶ alumni working in various fields to discuss their efforts in supporting Asian and Asian-American communities and how their work has evolved during COVID-19. Moderator Shelley Lee will be in conversation with Anjan Chaudry ’09, director of dommunity empowerment, National Coalition for Asian Pacific Americans Community Development; Daniel Domaguin ’06, co-founder, NorCal Filipinx Wellness Collective, and Nancy D. Nguyen ’05, executive director of VietLead. Advance registration <strong>is required for the event</strong>.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2021-03-25T12:00:00Z">Thu, 03/25/2021 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Office of Communications</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2763">Multicultural Resource Commons</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=3490">Presidential Initiative</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-programs field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25311">Comparative American Studies</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25381">History</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/comparative-american-studies" hreflang="und">Comparative American Studies</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/history" hreflang="und">History</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Jason Leung</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> </main></body></html>
