- Hello! For my final term project in AMST 388 (Archiving Asian America), I will be putting together a multimodal site with audio, images, and text to capture Asian American Joy as experienced by Vassar students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The songs will be compiled into a Spotify playlist and linked on the site for people to listen to as they browse through the images and stories in the digital archive. If you identify as Asian American or a Pacific Islander, you are welcome to fill out this survey! You may fill out as much or as little of this form as you would like. Link to survey here.
- The LGBTQ+ Center and Women’s Center in collaboration with ASA, SASA, and SEASA present the AAPI Month Kickoff Mixer. Join us for free food and good company on Graduation Hill as we celebrate the start of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. RSVP here: https://forms.gle/XvqSdkBobGftNxaM6
