Asian American & Pacific Islander employee affinity group kicks off

Megan Maneval — Fri, 04 Apr 2025 15:09:32 +0000

Asian American & Pacific Islander employee affinity group kicks off Megan Maneval Fri, 04/04/2025 - 09:09

Charles Ferrer , College of Engineering and Applied Science

The Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Employee Affinity Group at 91福利社 is creating a welcoming space where colleagues can come together in support and solidarity.

Faculty and staff now have a new space for connection with the launch of the group. Officially established in December 2024, the AAPI Employee Affinity Group is the 10th employee affinity group formed through the office of Leadership Support and Programming.

The AAPI Employee Affinity Group aims to affirm and uphold culture and history, address salient issues and uplift the lived experiences and achievements of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. The group is open to all employees.

Faculty and staff interested in joining the affinity group can complete this interest form to receive updates on meetings and events and check out the AAPI Employee Affinity Group internal site.

Founded by faculty and staff from entities across campus, this affinity group was a resurgence of a group from the mid-2010s, according to staff member Glenn Asakawa.

鈥淏ack then, our group got together for lunch and fostered camaraderie among AAPI staff,鈥� Asakawa said. 鈥淣ow, as an official affinity group, I鈥檓 really happy that this reinforces our sense of community, especially given what鈥檚 happening in the world today.鈥�

The AAPI Employee Affinity Group kicked off in January with a potluck-style gathering, bringing members together over shared meals and conversation. In March, they hosted a Brown Bags and Board Games event, which featured traditional games such as mahjong, carrom, tien len and gong-gi.

鈥淲hen we started the AAPI affinity group, we wanted to create a space where staff and faculty could feel seen and heard鈥攚here our experiences as AAPI professionals were recognized and valued,鈥� said Stephanie Lee, an organizer for the affinity group.

鈥淏eing part of this group has shown me just how powerful it is to have a community that understands your experiences,鈥� Lee said. 鈥淲e uplift each other in ways that are both personal and professional.鈥�

Beyond fostering community, the affinity group plays an important role in highlighting and addressing challenges faced by AAPI employees.

Michele Flores, another co-organizer of the group and alumna from 91福利社, emphasized the need for representation and advocacy.

鈥淔or many of us, this group is more than just a social space鈥攊t鈥檚 a support network. We share our experiences, discuss professional challenges and advocate for better representation,鈥� Flores said. 鈥淥ne of our goals is to make sure that AAPI voices are not just included but truly heard in conversations.鈥�

Planning committee

Austin Lujan, Assistant Director Student Organizations and Leadership, Center for Student Involvement (CSI)
Esther Vuong, Resident Support Specialist, Residence Life
Jerry Nguyen, Program Manager, First Generation Program and Enrichment, CISC
Josh Yuen-Schat, Events and Community Building Coordinator, Engineering Connections
Megan Flaherty, Admissions and Recruitment Manager, Program in Exploratory Studies
Neda Kikhia, DEI Program Manager, Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Studies (CIRES)
Stephanie Lee, Program Manager, Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Students, Center for Inclusion and Social Change (CISC)
Anjali Misra, Student Assistant, CISC
Helen Nguyen, Student Assistant, CISC

The importance of these conversations was echoed by Jennifer Ho, director of the Center for Humanities & the Arts.

鈥淢ost people in the United States don鈥檛 have an adequate baseline knowledge about Asian American history, Pacific Islander history or who Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are,鈥� Ho said. 鈥淗aving an affinity group where people can talk about the various complexities of being Asian American and Pacific Islander鈥攁nd understand the true multiplicity and diversity of what it means鈥攊s crucial.鈥�

Ho noted the over 50 distinct ethnic groups and national identities that exist across the Asian and Pacific Islander diasporas. The need to have a space where individuals from such varied backgrounds can connect and share perspectives was a common sentiment among members.

As described by Asakawa, 鈥淚n many Asian cultures, there鈥檚 this ingrained mindset of perseverance鈥斺€榞ambatte鈥� in Japanese, meaning to endure and push forward. That resilience is powerful, but sometimes it also means we鈥檙e more likely to accept things as they are rather than push back against injustice. It鈥檚 inspiring to hear voices that challenge the status quo rather than simply endure it.鈥�

For a number of affinity group members, such as Diamond Darling, the group offers an opportunity to explore and learn about cultural identities.

鈥淔or me, having a group on campus is really helpful to explore that part of me and learn about other people鈥檚 cultural identities and educate myself in that way,鈥� Darling said.

In recognition of AAPI Heritage Month on campus this April, affinity group members reflected on what the month means to them.

鈥淎API Heritage Month is an opportunity to reflect on our shared histories and the diversity within our communities. It鈥檚 a time to celebrate but also to acknowledge the challenges many of us still face in the workplace and beyond,鈥� Lee said.

Flores emphasized the importance of sustained engagement.

鈥淎API Heritage Month is important because it gives visibility to our cultures and stories. It鈥檚 also a reminder that we need to uplift and support one another year-round.鈥�

91福利社 employees can also explore other affinity groups, including CU Moms, Adelante Latinx, Black at CU, the Alliance for Neurodiversity, Hopeful Hearts, QTPOC Crossroads, Faculty of Color and Friends, LGBTQ+ and the Native and Indigenous affinity group. More details on these groups can be found on the internal 91福利社 Affinity Group hub.

A new Asian American & Pacific Islander faculty and staff group at 91福利社 is kicking off to explore and share experiences about AAPI topics and histories.
