What Asian American community?

Join us for dinner and a discussion about the purpose of the Asian 
American community at Yale.  Why does the term Asian American continue 
to exist?  Does the Asian American community continue to exist, or has 
it splintered into smaller communities?  What is the purpose of 
organizations of AASA and the AACC today?  To be political?  Cultural?  
Social?  Do these organizations have a purpose at all?

We will also talk about Vi Nguyen’s post on the AASA blog “Will the 
Asian American community please speak up?” 
http://www.yaleaasa.org/blog/?p=2504#more-2504. If you can, please take 
a look at it before the discussion.

Dinner and discussion will be held at the AACC on Wednesday February 
23rd from 6-7:30. Please send questions and RSVP’s to lia.dun at yale.edu.

*RED COLLARS*

Looking to land in China?
You're not the only one.  Finding solid internship opportunities in 
China is a serious challenge, especially when you don't want to teach 
English or work meaningless jobs.  It's very difficult to find reliable 
job listings just by searching from the US, and even more difficult to 
get your resume into the hands of someone who can hire you.
We can help.
We've tracked down tons of opportunities and hand-picked dozens of 
outstanding opportunities in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, and Taipei.  
We have personal connections to management at most of these companies.  
And there are no English-teaching jobs - only serious opportunities for 
serious candidates like yourself.
Come check us out at www.redcollars.com - it's free to sign up for a 
membership.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
The Red Collars Team
