ACPA PreConvention update

From Daisy Rodriguez-Pitel:
I wanted to share that there will be another Pre-Convention offered at ACPA that focusing on advancing APA research and publications. I've included more information below. Please consider this half day pre-convention and spread the word.
Title: Facilitating Research and Publication on Asian Americans in Higher Education
Presenters: Donna Talbot (Western Michigan University), Sean Pepin (Nova Southeastern University), Sam Museus (UMass-Boston), and Daisy Rodriguez-Pitel (Pima Community College- West Campus)
Length: Half day
Program Abstract :
This workshop focuses on developing research and publications on the unique needs of Asian American students, faculty and staff in higher education. Participants will connect with other colleagues interested in this population, discuss challenges associated with conducting research, and potentially form research/writing partnerships. Colleagues who have been successful in researching and publishing will share some experiences and recommendations about further research. Finally, we will help participants understand and negotiate some of the political challenges to publishing on Asian Americans.
