Last Friday, Director Viraj Patel represented AASA

Last Friday, Director Viraj Patel represented AASAP at an Illinois Department of Central Management Services panel for AAPI Heritage Month! Panelists discussed the importance and strategy for hiring and retention of Asian Americans in public service careers. 📝📝  Viraj spoke about the need to reintroduce compassion and center accessibility hiring processes (and a bunch of other stuff too!) especially when hiring young people who continue to be disproportionately impacted by the long term effects of social isolation, interruptions to academic schedules, electronics overstimulation and more. 🎤🎤🎤

Speaking about topics you’re sincerely passionate about with an engaged group was a real pleasure! ❤️❤️🌱🌱

Watch 2024 Asian American Congratulatory student speaker and GLAS major Malien’s speech.

“As Asian American graduates of UIC, it is critically important that we carry this revolutionary legacy with us beyond our graduation. Remember that, as Asian Americans, we’re here because global forces displaced our communities. Do not forget the histories of war, imperialism, colonization, and violence that continue to displace and harm.”
