APALSA's Annual Welcome Dinner: The 2011 Edition

Last Saturday, APALSA held its Annual Welcome Dinner at Mai Village Restaurant in St. Paul. In attendance were 1Ls, returning students, alumni, professors, and deans from the Office of Multicultural Affairs. The event was a great success! We had great conversations over delicious Vietnamese-styled dishes.

If you weren't able to attend the event, do not fret. Check your inbox, the Docket or this blog for event updates. Don't miss out on our other events this year!

Below are some pictures from the event. I apologize for not having more pictures. Once we kick-started the event it was really difficult to tear away from the conversations. 

Education Forum on Asian Pacific Minnesotans

On Saturday, October 1st, the Minnesota Department of Education and the Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans are having a community forum on the hidden educational achievement gap for Asian Pacific students of Minnesota.

I encourage students to attend the event and learn about a major issue that is affecting the Asian Pacific community in Minnesota.
