The Asian American / Asian Research Institute (AAARI) is currently accepting registrants to participate in our CUNY Affiliates Training Program, set to begin on Friday, September 19th, 2003, from 1PM to 5PM. The AAARI CUNY Affiliates Program hopes to assist Asian American programs, clubs and organizations from across the twenty campuses of the City University of New York, make their presences known to one another via the Internet, through the use of web pages, streaming videos, and live webcasting.
CUNY is the largest urban university in this country, and possibly in the world. Yet, a large number of faculty and students often find themselves isolated from one another because of physical barriers. Through the CUNY-wide website, we hope that a virtual meeting ground can be established where information, and participatory opportunities may be shared by all who reside in the twenty separate campuses.
Some of the benefits of being an AAARI CUNY Affiliate include the following:
- We can provide a website for Asian American programs, clubs and organizations that are within CUNY.
- We can provide streaming for selected videotaped Asian American events produced by local campuses, and create limited CDs for their distribution.
- We can provide live webcasting of campus-based Asian / Asian American events to CUNY and beyond.
- We can provide free training, web services, including limited free equipment on loan for webcasting purposes.
Since the introduction of streaming videos and live webcasts to our website, we have more than tripled our number of visitors, and attracted viewers who could not be physically present at some programs. The archival of events also allowed them to be reviewed later on by interested individuals. We can help you to magnify your presence, and bring your activities to the attention of more audiences. All you need to do is to go through a short 4 hours training.
AAARI is affiliated with Queens College and supported by funds from CUNY Chancellor Matthew Goldstein’s office.
If you are interested in participating in the AAARI CUNY Affiliates Program, please email INFO@aaari.info, or call 212-869-0182. Seating is limited to the first 10 registrants. Pre-registration must be received before 5PM, Tuesday, August 12th, 2003.
