Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month at Pacific
This March and April is Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month at the
University of the Pacific. Come check out the many events and programs
celebrating various Asian cultures and deconstructing issues that affect
the Asian American community.
Students of Asian and Pacific Islander heritage make up 32% of the student body at the University of the Pacific. These include international and exchange students born in foreign countries, first generation Americans who are the children of immigrants, and students whose families have been in the country for centuries. In addition to this breadth of different experiences with immigration and identity, many different Asian and Pacific Islander ethnicities are represented on campus. The Asian Pacific Islander community is diverse and vibrant, yet sometimes overlooked. Media representation of Asian Americans, with all the stereotypes of docility and submissiveness and the pervasive myth of the model minority, has affected not only others' perception of Asian Americans but too often Asian Americans' perception of themselves. Black History Month was created to celebrate the achievements and contributions of black people and through that celebration to give black youth a more positive self image. Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month is attempting to do the same. It is a celebration of our diversity and at the same time a call to action.
APIHM kicks off today, Friday, March 22, with an opening ceremony held at the DUC Ballroom from 4 - 7 PM. There will be performances from API student organizations, and a set from Bay area R&B band LEGACI. Afterwards there will be a hAPI hour with organizations tabling and free Asian food!
Check out some Legaci tunes on their Youtube page.

New Ride Share Board at the MC!
Tucked in the corner right behind the water cooler is a new Ride Share Board for the Pacific community! Many students go back home or on trips for the weekend, and many students commute everyday. We are hoping to facilitate car pools, road trips, and more with this ride board. It's very simple and eco friendly- if you are driving somewhere, put a post-it note with your destination, name, and contact info. If you are hoping to get a ride somewhere, put an orange post-it note with the heading "REQUEST" and your desired destination, name, and contact info. For example, the orange post-it note currently posted is mine: it says "REQUEST: the beach, Jun, j_sato1@u.pacific.edu".
This is all thanks to the ALANA Center Services Coordinator, Trust Hilton. Thanks for putting it together, Trust! Go green, Pacific!

South Korean Consul General Jeong Gwan Lee will be coming to Pacific on Thursday to discuss Escalating Tensions between North and South Korea
Consul General Lee is coming for the the Advancing Women's Leadership Forum with Condoleezza Rice, and the International Program and Services office (IPS) has asked him to stay a little while longer to discuss current affairs in Korea with the Pacific community. Topics will include the current escalating tension between the North and South after the death of Kim Jong Il and the Korea - US Free Trade Agreement. With the current media sensationalization of the rise of Kim Jong Un and the escalation of tensions in the region with North Korean missile tests, this is a great opportunity to learn more about what is really happening in this part of the world.
The talk will be this Thursday, March 21, at 2 PM at the Bechtel International Center. Refreshments will be provided.

There will be refreshments provided.
Thursday, March 21 is the Advancing Women's Leadership Forum featuring former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, held at Alex Spanos at 9 AM. Tickets are 25$ and can be picked up at the box office. Planned in collaboration with high-profile women from throughout San Joaquin County, the forum on Advancing Women's Leadership aims to inspire participants, especially young women, to make a lasting, positive and powerful impact in the communities where they live and work.
Opening the Forum on Advancing Women's Leadership will be Christy Haubegger, founder of the groundbreaking Latina magazine. Now an agent with the Los Angeles-based Creative Artists Agency, Haubegger also serves on the board of Management Leadership for Tomorrow, an organization that works to increase the number of minority MBA candidates at the nation's top business schools.
The forum also will feature a panel of local women leaders who will share their experiences in achieving career and education milestones. They are: Regan Porteous, a current college student and graduate of St. Mary's High School in Stockton; Nikki Lowery, youth pastor and director of women's ministry at First Baptist Church of Stockton; Tori Verber-Salazar, deputy district attorney for San Joaquin County; and the Hon. Connie Callahan, judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Rounding out the week on Friday, March 22, Delta Sigma Theta will be talking about Black Feminism at the Multicultural Center at 6 PM. Black feminism is a social and political movement borne out of the civil rights era that argues that sexism, class oppression, and racism are all interdependent and that any effort to end one must be an effort to end them all. It is an example of intersectionality.
Way of the Geisha and Black Feminism are free to attend for all community members, regardless of affiliation with Pacific.
We hope to see you at these events!

Los Liaisones de Affiliados Dicen "Feliz Primavera!" para el País Vasco
The Affiliate Liaisons say "Happy Spring!" from the Basque Country.
From Jun:
In between surf sessions I have had lively conversations with Basque kids about issues of self-determination, the people's sovereignty, American imperialism, Basque autonomy, and the importance of being world citizens (in addition to more mundane things like the weather, the swell, and the relative merits of In N Out and pintxos).
If you are on spring break, I hope it is as fun and multicultural as mine has been.
Agur!
From Joe:
Hello fellow Tigers! I hope you are all having an eventful and relaxing Spring Break; the sun finally came out the mintute Jun arrived, so he definitely brought some of the California Sun with him. I hope to show him more of the Basque Country for the next few days that he is here, so he can take some of the culture and really cool Basque words we are learning back to the US to share with you all! Thank you to all that sent me gifts, cards, food, etc.
Enjoy the rest of your spring break and finish the semester strong ! Hope to see you all at graduation! :)
