Thank you for your interest in working with us. I look forward to getting to know you better through this process.
Did you know that human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery? Women, children, and men are bought and sold everyday, all over the world. Victims are forced, defrauded or coerced into labor or sexual exploitation.
The API Women's Mentor Program is hosting a series of events this week to allow the campus community to find out more about this global issue, and what they can do to STOP human trafficking.
"Anonymously Yours" Movie Screening
Wednesday, February 27 (TODAY!)

"Anonymously Yours" is the outcome of a daring film-making operation on sex-trafficking in a military state where nothing is as it seems. Four Burmese women's strikingly different life experiences come together to reveal an institution that enslaves them and as many as forty million women worldwide in the fastest growing industry on earth: human sales. Clandestinely shot deep in the uncharted world of Southeast Asian sex trafficking, the film chronicles the merchandising of women commonplace in a land afflicted with staggering poverty and widespread corruption.

Rockefeller Brothers Fund Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color
By 2014, an estimated 50 million children will be enrolled in public schools across the nation. More than half of them are expected to be students of color. Yet today only 10% of public school teachers are people of color. Current trends indicate that by the year 2020, the percentage of teachers of color will shrink to an all-time low of 5 percent.
"The good news is that there is a greater awareness of and commitment to diversity in the classroom than ever before," says Miriam Añeses, director, Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color.
With the enormous need and opportunity for highly qualified teachers of color in public school systems across the country, the RBF established in 1992 the Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color initiative, a key component of the Charles E. Culpeper Human Advancement program. The fellowship recognizes the vitally important role of education in human advancement and seeks to increase the number of highly qualified teachers of color in K-12 public education in the United States. Each year, the Fund awards up to 25 fellowships to students of color entering the teaching profession. Since the program's inception, the RBF has awarded fellowships to 301 college students.
In 2007, 25 college juniors from 17 participating institutions were named recipients of the Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color. Each Fellow receives up to $22,100 over a five-year period that ends after completion of three years of public school teaching. Incoming Fellows are required to complete a summer project between their junior and senior years. Planned jointly by Fellows and their mentors, the projects provide students with direct teaching experience with youth.

The Best Way to Predict the Future is to CREATE it: Get Involved!
One of the best strategies for undergraduate success is to get involved with campus life. Students who are engaged with the campus, intellectually, physically, emotionally, spiritually progress toward their degrees at higher rates than students who are not connected with the campus community. APSP offers students multiple opportunities to get involved with program and event planning, youth outreach, peer mentoring, personal and professional development, community service, and leadership. Send us a message and let us know how we can help you find what you're looking for: Asian Pacific Student Programs.

The agenda was packed and full of intensity, and it left all the participants phyiscally exhausted, but emotionally satisfied. Based on what we accomplished at the Camp, we're looking forward to an exciting year ahead. (pictures!)
