Website Debut & Upcoming Plans May 9, 2022 We are excited to announce that the new AAAS website is live. This update, which was made possible by generous support from the Henry Luce Foundation, allows us to display more content, have a cleaner interface, and accept donations. It also allows us to share new resources that we hope will be helpful to our members, and to those seeking meaningful engagement with our community. These resources include: a newly complied list of media experts on the Asian American community, a growing compilation of organizations that share our mission and goal of uplifting and amplifying Asian American and Pacific Islander communities,and recent sample syllabi of Asian American studies courses. Explore all of our new resources But wait, there’s more! In our next phase of development, we will have a portal available for members to submit book award nominations, and in August a conference proposal submission for our upcoming annual meeting in Long Beach, CA in April 2023. We are grateful to our developer Bust Out, who has been a wonderful partner in bringing this to life
