Hello all,
Wish you all doing well and glad to meet some of you again at APM at
Altanta. Anyhow, APISWEA (under CSWE) has initiated the API
Mentoring Network with the goals of:
- To create professional and academic
mentoring relationship between senior and junior AAPI scholars
as a way to:
- Further research and scholarship
pertaining to AAPI knowledge
- To foster collabroation among AAPI
scholars
I personally do think that the
AAPI Social Work Scholars Group that meets at SSWR share similar
goals, etc.
Anyhow, attached is the Information of those who have signed up for
the API Mentoring Network at APM. Sheet 1 is the contact information
and Sheet 2 is the research interests and areas. For those who have
signed up for the Mentoring Network, please review the Information
Sheet and feel free to initiate contact among yourselves. This list
include people who wish to participate in the Mentoring Network and
each on of us will welcome contact from all of you. For those of you
who haven't signed up for the Mentoring Network but would like to do
so, please complete the attached Sign-up Form and send it to me.
My thinking is that we can meet both at CSWE and/or SSWR for
networking, discussion, and fun as well. Meanwhile, we can use this
network to share any information useful for us to further pursue and
strengthen our scholarship.
For instance, a recent effort by APISWEA is that Dr. Francis Yuen is
taking the lead to establish The Okura Mental Health Leadership
Foundation Grant for Asian and Pacific Islander Social Workers. I
would definitely encourage you all to consider this grant
opportunity when it is being finalized and confirmed.
I hope this Mentoring Network will become a useful forum for us to
collaborate and support each other scholarly work and research.
To note, Dr. Patrick Leung and I will try to be at CSWE and SSWR
although we might not be able to do so for each conference. However,
I trust that some of you can take the lead if we are not able to
come.
Wish you all doing well.
