UPAAN (UPenn Asian Alumni Network) provides an outlet to build your social and professional network and to help give back to Penn APA students and the general APA community in New York. We are looking for active volunteers who can communicate well and take initiative on our board to help UPAAN organize events and develop a stronger network. We have a number of open positions on the following committees:
  •     Community Service
  •     Fundraising
  •     Marketing & PR
  •     Professional Development
  •     Social Programming
If you are interested in learning more about joining a committee and getting involved, please read and fill out the brief application attached to this e-mail and return it to us at upaannyc@upaan.org by 11:59pm EST on April 15th.  We hope to see many of you applying, and hope you're enjoying the spring weather!

At Penn, he was involved with the Chinese Students' Association and Asian Pacific American heritage week.

A BIG THANK YOU to UPAAN-LA veteran, Michelle Yuen (C'02), for her contributions and great ideas to UPAAN-LA for more than five years. She is a great mentor and an even better friend. Have fun in NYC!


Look forward to seeing you soon,
Heidi (& Brian)


== (3) It's Been a Pleasure, LA - note from Michelle Yuen C'02===========================
My, my.. dear Los Angeles & beyond (to the visiting guests we've had over the years).
 
It has been my pleasure and honor to support UPAAN here in Los Angeles the last handful of years. Thank you to those who have come out to the various events and that I've had to pleasure to meet. From the mixers to beach volleyball, dim sum traditions to intercollegiate collaborations, I've had tons of fun! Each time I leave a UPAAN event, I'm energized and inspired by the folks I meet. Seriously. What can I say, I love my Penn family.  :)
 
Some of you may know how I have talked about moving back east for years. Well, I have finally made it to NYC now, but LA shall always be home. And regardless, I'll probably see you at another UPAAN function soon!
 
Best to all in 2012.
cheers,
michelle yuen, C'02
