Date: Friday, February 8, 2008 Time: 6:00PM to 8:00PM
Place: 25 West 43rd Street, 19th Floor
between 5th & 6th Avenues, Manhattan
Note: Space is limited. The reception is open only to CUNY Asian faculty and staff, non-Asians involved in Asian-related subjects, and Asian students.
Outside individuals who wish to attend must pay an admission fee of $10. AAARI members who possess a current non-expired membership (refer to membership card) come for free.
The purpose of the reception is to introduce CUNY faculty and staff, old and new, to the Asian American / Asian Research Institute; our mission as a university-wide scholarly research and resource center that focuses on policies and issues that affect Asians and Asian Americans; and the programs that are available for them. Attendees will have the prime opportunity to create new relationships and network with colleagues like themselves, from different fields across the twenty-three CUNY colleges.
Our hosts for the evening will be Michelle Yu (NY1 News) and Blossom Kan, co-authors of China Dolls: A Novel. Newly appointed Vice Chancellor Gloriana B. Waters from the CUNY Office of Faculty and Staff Relations, and Hon. Wellington Chen from the CUNY Board of Trustees, will be on hand to give greetings of behalf of the University. A photo exhibition entitled, My Reporting from New York, by the Chinese-American Journalists, will also be on display.
It is vital that all members of a college become involved with and integrate into the CUNY family, as it continues to be the nation’s leading urban public university. In order to make this reception a success, your participation is crucial.
