APAHE CONFERENCE
May 3-5, 2007 Oakland, CA
“Going Back to Our Roots – A 20th Anniversary Celebration of Activism and Empowerment”
Asian and Pacific Americans in Higher Education (APAHE) announces its spring conference to be held Thursday, May 3 through Saturday, May 5, 2007 in Oakland California. APAHE’s new president and Laney College President, Frank Chong, will be our host in the same city that hosted our inaugural APAHE conference 20 years ago! This is an excellent opportunity for all of us to get reconnected and to reinvigorate APAHE as our organization as well as to welcome new members and interested individuals. Twenty years later, student admissions issues, faculty tenure cases, under-representation in hiring and promotion, affirmative action, and Asian American Studies continue to be pressing issues impacting Asian and Pacific Islander Americans in Higher Education. APAHE is the leading national organization to address these concerns.
This year’s APAHE conference is being generously co-sponsored by Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics, Inc. (LEAP). LEAP is a nationally recognized, nonprofit organization that offers leadership training, publishes public policy research, and organizes efforts to increase community empowerment.
The conference will be held both on the campus of Laney College and at the Marriott Oakland City Center and throughout Oakland’s vibrant Chinatown district. Everything is very close together, so no other transportation should be necessary. The Oakland airport is 9 miles away from the hotel.
