Farewell Breakfast, Orlando 2007

 

WASABI!!!
  At the APAN meeting, one of the members yelled, "Wasabi!" mid-sentence.  Some of us thought it was his way of expressing delight in the present discussion because it was so random.  As it turned out, he bit into some wasabi so he was literally yelling, "wasabi!" because his mouth was burning.  Later that day, Julie and Joy took a picture yelling "WASABI!" to send to Monica Nixon. A week later, Tim Chang sent Joy and Monica an acronym for WASABI that encompassed APAN's and API KC's collaborative spirit (see below).

APPEX is an interactive summit designed to address the professional/leadership development of Asian American/Pacific Islander (API) student affairs professionals in a multi-culturally competent & holistic context. The third annual pre-conference will focus on the theme of "Empowering Ourselves, Sustaining Our Communities", specifically addressing issues of ethnic/cultural identity, racial identity, generational perspectives on self and society, personal/professional wellness, political partnerships, and inclusive community building techniques. A core thread this year will be increasing awareness and appreciation of the diversity of cultures and experiences within the API community in an effort to build a more inclusive organization and effective support structures. The program will also address current API student issues related to leadership development and intersections of identities. APPEX welcomes graduate students, new professionals, mid level and senior level administrators, and faculty.
