COMMUNITY SERVICE
2010-2011,Kauffman Community Entrepreneurship Internship Fellowship, Morgridge Center for Public Service, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Founder and Instructor, “Telling Our Stories Across Generations,” an intergenerational oral history workshop at East High School, in collaboration with Wisconsin Dept of Public Instruction’s Early Outreach Program ($5,600 grant)
2009-2010, Humanities Exposed Scholars Fellowship, Center for Humanities, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Founder and Instructor, “Telling Our Stories in Madison,” a mixed media youth storytelling project at UW Madison, included a mentorship program and publishing workshop, partnered with Madison Metropolitan School District ($1,500 grant plus $1,500 in-kind donations I fundraised privately)
These projects were all collaborative in content generation and in their implementation. I could not have carried out these two successful projects in community-based oral history without the help of many volunteers and generous financial donations from the Madison, Wisconsin, community.
CAMPUS SERVICE
ASSOCIATION FOR ASIAN AMERICAN GRADUATE STUDENTS (click here)
AAAGS re-chartered as a student group during my early years of graduate school. I have served on the Executive Board of this student group during my time in graduate school and have been able to thrive in many ways as a result of this supportive cross-disciplinary group of scholars and extended social support network.
