cornell-specific AAA issues that constantly need to be addressed

May 14, 2008 16:42

circumstances have changed a lot since i last blogged here. for better (or worse), i've become intensely involved in AAA (asian & asian american) issues. as for my career choices, i'm still premed until it strikes my slow mind that i am not suited for that path--or until i fail orgo II for certain. life goes on :)

at the moment, i just need a place to record AAA-related issues and events. here is where livejournal comes in again? and of course, feel free to comment when you please.

notes from the planning mtg of March 31st's forum
  • bring sound/video recorder, get publicity in
  • check on mikes
  • issues of harassment and lack of services - alum voices - michelle & nate
  • dr. turner - polit presence & depth of experience
  • how generation is calculated & determined?
  • breakdown of AAA ethnic groups?
    • CA mandated that all UC campuses ask for ethnicity
      • allows for servicing of underrepresented AAAs
      • can have professors and students work academically with them
      • can address other issues of inequity
  • need timeline for committee
  • why AAs in CAPS aren't that responsive to students?
  • what's worked/not worked for program houses?
  • wei - AAATF
  • visions of community center
    • hub for educational outreach
    • programming
    • serves all ithaca community
    • increases awareness of AAA issues across the board
