Ms. Vikii Wong, a Communications and Media major, is in the early stages of researching on the Stop Asian Hate movement, based on a class paper. Vikii will gather qualitative and quantitative data on the status of Asian hate crimes, including the recent spa shootings in Atlanta, Georgia on March 16, 2021.
