Description: APA\/API Month celebrates and honors the culture, achievements, and figures of the Asian Pacific American community. Discrimination and hate against members of the API community in the United States have existed for centuries and their struggles have been ignored. For the Asian American Women in Power Panel, we are inviting Representative Thai, Representative Slatter, and Senator Dhingra to speak about their lives as Asian American women in United States and the current issues facing the API community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will offer a limited number of free lunch giveaways to the BC students attending this event, courtesy of the Asian Pacific Islander Students Affinity Coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
