URL: www.aaari.info/notes/2016OutstandingAlumni.pdf AAARI Releases Fourth Issue of CUNY FORUM 10/6/16 - AAARI's fourth issue of CUNY FORUM focuses on how Asian American Studies, as a radical education initiative begun forty-years ago, can become a "change- creator," providing a counter narrative to what is al- ready known or practiced. Here, East Coast scholars, activists, artists and institutions, through their work and research bring critical transcultural perspectives and un- common meanings to both voice and practice. The 152 page journal (Volume 4:1, Fall 2016 to Winter 2017, ISSN: 2329-1125, $15.00) features three sec- tions, each examining through essays, commentaries, and research: 1. Transcultural Voices; 2.

Baruch College Alumna Elected Lower Manhattan’s First Asian American NYS Assembly Member 11/9/16 - Yuh-Line Niou, Baruch College/CUNY Alumna MPA 11, was elected as NYS Assembly Member for District 65, representing Lower Manhattan, which includes Chinatown, the Lower East Side, Battery Park City, and the Financial District. As the former Chief of Staff to Flushing Assemblyman Ron Kim, also a Baruch College/CUNY MPA Alumnus ‘05 and the first and only Korean American to serve in the NYS Assembly, Niou has the experi- ence to serve the large Asian American constituent population resid- ing in her district. Niou is the first Asian American to represent China- town and the Lower East Side in the New York State legislature. Assembly Member Niou is featured in AAARI’s Outstanding Asian American Alumni of The City University of New York. AAARI Joins Queens Community Organizations to Address Hate Crimes L to R: Mariela Herring, Bureau Chief/Assistant District Attorney, Gang Violence & Hate Crimes Bureau, Queens DA’s Office; Rama Issa, Lead Advisor, NYC Commission on Human Rights; Sapna Raj, Assistant Commissioner, NYC Commission on Human Rights; Mark Magrone, Deputy Inspector, NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force; Honorable Robert Capers, U.S. Attorney, Eastern District of NY BP; Jesse Sligh, Executive Assistant District Attorney, Queens DA’s Office; Michael Brovner, Assistant District Attorney, Queens DA’s Gang Violence & Hate Crimes Bureau; Joyce Moy (AAARI-CUNY) Founding Advisor, Borough President’s Queens General Assembly 8/3/16 - Joyce Moy, AAARI Executive Director, delivered closing remarks at the Queens District Attorney Hate Crimes Forum sponsored by Queens Borough President Melinda Katz and Queens District Attorney Richard Brown. Over 50 diverse community organizations gathered together at the standing room only event held at Queens Borough Hall in Kew Gardens to discuss the role of law enforcement when a hate crime occurs, and what can be done to protect the community. The forum was attended by leaders from Asian American, Muslim, African American, Jewish, Latino, LGBTQ, and other organizations with the goal of disseminating the information to the diverse communities of Queens. Speakers included Borough President Melinda Katz, Executive Assistant District Attorney Jesse J. Sligh, U.S. Attorney Robert L. Capers, and many others from law enforcement and the NYC Commission on Human Rights. Moy commented on what could be done by each and every individual to begin the process of eliminating bias and hate, noting the current national discourse. She pointed out that everyday gestures such as events she observed just that morning of an African American worker who stopped what he was doing to help a disabled passenger board a train, and a Hispanic man who offered his seat to young children of a Muslim family, were not just a matter of good manners, they were acts of little kindnesses that showed respect, and the value of a person. Gestures like this each and every day would go a long way to changing mind- sets of those who observe them, and receive them. In collaboration with Chinatown Youth Initiatives and South Asian Youth Action, selected artworks from the OCA-NY Hate Crimes Prevention Art Contest were on exhibit to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the murder of Vincent Chin. In 1982, Chin, a Chinese American, was attacked by two white autoworkers who thought he was Japanese, blaming Japan for the loss of jobs in the American auto industry. AAARI Presents the Asian American Leadership in CUNY and Higher Education Report to CUNY's Academic Council 9/16/16 - Ron Woo, AAARI Board Chair, and Joyce Moy, AAARI Executive Director, presented the findings of the CUNY Asian American Leadership Initiative’s report, Asian American Leadership in CUNY and Higher Education, to the CUNY University Academic Council. The report detailed the lack of Asian American repre- sentation in the ranks of CUNY's leadership positions, particularly as chief academic officers, or in positions that impact education policy and the direction of the university. This is despite the fact that Asian Ameri- cans comprise over 20 percent of the university's students, 12 percent of faculty, and 15 percent of New York City's population. Woo and Moy, presented the report at the invitation of Dr.

    CHINATOWN AFTER SEPTEMBER 11TH: An Economic Impact Study An Interim Report Asian American Federation of New York April 4, 2002 In Collaboration With: Federal Reserve Bank of New York Fiscal Policy Institute Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, University of California, Los Angeles The views expressed in this report are those of the Asian American Federation and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Federal Reserve System, the Fiscal Policy Institute, or the Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, UCLA. CHINATOWN After September 11th FOREWORD Nearly seven months after September 11th, New Yorkers of all backgrounds continue to feel the pains of the unfortunate loss of life while we work hard to heal our wounds and rebuild our city. The impact of September 11th has certainly been pervasive beyond words, as has been the outpouring of heroism and philanthropy demonstrated by so many ordinary people, uniformed as well as civilian, during these trying times. All of us at the Asian American Federation pay our respects to those who have lost or given their lives, offer our best wishes to those families who have endured the tragedy, and salute the fine spirit of New York. The lingering aftermath of September 11th is deeply felt in neighborhoods close to Ground Zero, including Chinatown. During the first three months after September 11th, stories abounded about the desperation of many low-wage workers who became unemployed and the resolution of many small business owners who worried about their firms’ prospects.

(CPC) is one of the largest nonprofit providers of educational, social, and community services for Asian Americans in the United States. Today, CPC serves over 8,000 people a day through over 50 programs and 30+ locations citywide - administering community services, early childhood and school-age child care services, youth services, workforce development, and senior services. In addition, CPC’s affiliates and associated entities provide housing and home attendant services. CPC’s mission is to serve the Chinese American, immigrant and low-income communities in New York City by providing services, skills, and resources towards economic self-sufficiency. DYNAMISM The principle of dynamism is at the heart of CPC’s past year, signifying a year of vigorous activity and progress in reaching our growing community of in-need New Yorkers with transformative programs and continuing our legacy of service. Over fifty years ago, CPC’s founders provided resources to first generation immigrants in Manhattan’s Chinatown who needed help learning English, navigating the job market, and taking care of their children while they worked to integrate into the American mainstream. Today, while many of these underlying needs remain the same, the range of challenges facing our constituents has evolved. Asian populations across NYC are growing dramatically, with Chinese groups growing 38%. Our low-income and immigrant families come from increasingly diverse Jenny Low geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds and speak many different Board Chair languages.
