Lunar Thanksgiving & Onam celebration RSVP
We will celebrate Lunar Thanksgiving and Onam on Friday 9/16/22 from 11:30am to 1:30pm at Evarts Lounge (School of Nursing, 255 Crittenden Blvd.), thanks to gracious sponsorship from the Institutional Office of Equity and Inclusion. This event is open to everyone at U of R and URMC. Please come, and you can bring your friends and colleagues at U of R and URMC.

AAPI food will be there for you to enjoy along with some presentations on Lunar Thanksgiving (Choo-Suhg in Korean) and Onam (Indian holiday); people can indicate below if they can introduce AAPI sub-cultures. We are working on arranging table champions (an AAPI professor per table) with whom you can talk about cultural differences and to whom you can also ask questions regarding mentoring and academia for networking; we plan on having people choose a table/professor during registration at the door on the event day.

We also ordered Mah Jong (Chinese strategic game) and YootNolYi (Korean simple/fun game), for you to enjoy after the meal.

President: So Young Choe, Ph.D., Postdoctoral fellow in Psychiatry, from Korea

Will you be able to come earlier (11am-ish) to help setting it up and/or stay after the event to clean up? We have basically only one person currently to prepare for this event, but so many things to do on the day of the event. Hence the day support will make it go smoothly. Here are things we need people for:
If you are an AAPI professor (or AAPI postdoc or graduate student who has lived in the U.S. over 5 years), could you function as a table champion? To help facilitate table discussion/conversations and perhaps answer people's questions about mentoring, academia, and/or AAPI issues, etc. If can, could you please let us know 1) your cultural heritage, 2) when you came to the U.S. (e.g., for college or graduate school or earlier age), and 3) a short description of topics you feel comfortable talking about. Including this information on registration will help people decide which table they want to join. 
Would you like to present a sub-culture of AAPI at this event? For about 10 minutes with 10 slides, perhaps about ethnic holidays/festivals and/or cultural differences you noticed that affect training, to increase awareness of the AAPI issues and differences, and diverse representations from different AAPI sub-cultures. If so, please check which AAPI sub-culture you want to introduce. We will email you to follow up. These are top 12 AAPI groups based on Pew Research Center, but please feel free to list any other AAPI sub-cultures.

If you identify yourself as AAPI, which AAPI sub-culture? As we want to represent diverse AAPI sub-cultures, knowing this information helps. These are top 12 AAPI groups based on Pew Research Center, but please feel free to list any other AAPI sub-cultures.
