On May 30, 2008, Jennifer Chou '08 (Political Science) and Nan Chen '08 (English and Neuroscience), our beloved co-coordinators for 2007-08, graduated from Wellesley College. Both actively participated in WAA ever since they were first-years and led the organization to make some significant achievements while they were in leadership, such as pushing the Psychology Department to offer an Asian American Psychology course this academic year and being heavily involved in American Studies Program's recent hire for tenure-track positions. In recognition of her involvement with WAA, Jennnifer received the Excellence in Leadership Award last year, which is annually awarded to an exceptionally talented student leader by the Office of Student Activities. Apart from WAA, Nan twice served as a co-coordinator for the Asian Awareness Month Committee, which organizes all the events for the Asian Awareness Month (March), and has been much praised for her charisma. According to their mutual friend, these two are rooming together after graduation in an apartment in Chinatown, NY as they start their life, for the first time, as "working women." Currently, Jennifer works as a paralegal for Planned Parenthood's NY office, and Nan is doing research for the NYU Cancer Institute. WAA (and I'm sure the rest of Wellesley's Asian American community) will certainly miss this duo's kick-ass energy and wish them luck wherever they go. And to all WAAers (past or present) in NYC, please congratulate them when you see them on the streets!Thursday, July 3, 2008
