FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear PCACAC Family,

We are deeply saddened and angry to hear of the continued violence towards Asian Americans in our country.  The horrific murders in Atlanta Tuesday night are the latest in a year that has seen nearly 3,800 reports of hate incidents targeting Asian-Americans nationwide since last March, according to Stop AAPI Hate.

In the NACAC Statement of Support for Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander Students and Colleagues, they have provided the following resources:

• Anti-Racism Resources to Support Asian American, Pacific Islander Community

• How to Support Asian American Colleagues Amid the Recent Wave of Anti-Asian Violence

• Ignoring the History of Anti-Asian Racism is Another Form of Violence

• Standing Up to Anti-Asian Racism

We stand in solidarity with our Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islander colleagues and students.  We remain committed to the principles outlined in our Values Statement, and we will continue to have the conversations and act to challenge racism, bias, discrimination and hate against any group.

In Solidarity,

Rebekah LaPlante, President
James B. Massey, Jr., President-Elect
Joel Lang, Immediate Past President & Nominating Chair
Ann Marie Strauss, Executive Vice President
Libby Weith, Vice President of Finance
