Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

May 1-31
May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month – a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. A rather broad term, Asian-Pacific encompasses all of the Asian continent and the Pacific Islands of Melanesia (New Guinea, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji and the Solomon Islands), Micronesia (Marianas, Guam, Wake Island, Palau, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru and the Federated States of Micronesia) and Polynesia (New Zealand, Hawiian Islands, Rotuma, Midway Islands, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Cook Islands, French Polynesia and Easter Island).

Like most commemorative months, Asian-Pacific Heritage Month originated in a congressional bill. In June 1977, Reps. Frank Horton of New York and Norman Y. Mineta of California introduced a House resolution that called upon the president to proclaim the first ten days of May as Asian-Pacific Heritage Week. The following month, senators Daniel Inouye and Spark Matsunaga introduced a similar bill in the Senate. Both were passed. On October 5, 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed a Joint Resolution designating the annual celebration. Twelve years later, President George H.W. Bush signed an extension making the week-ling celebration into a month-ling celebration. In 1992, the official designation of May as Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month was signed into law.

The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants.

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

May 1-31
May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month – a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. A rather broad term, Asian-Pacific encompasses all of the Asian continent and the Pacific Islands of Melanesia (New Guinea, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji and the Solomon Islands), Micronesia (Marianas, Guam, Wake Island, Palau, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru and the Federated States of Micronesia) and Polynesia (New Zealand, Hawiian Islands, Rotuma, Midway Islands, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Cook Islands, French Polynesia and Easter Island).

Like most commemorative months, Asian-Pacific Heritage Month originated in a congressional bill. In June 1977, Reps. Frank Horton of New York and Norman Y. Mineta of California introduced a House resolution that called upon the president to proclaim the first ten days of May as Asian-Pacific Heritage Week. The following month, senators Daniel Inouye and Spark Matsunaga introduced a similar bill in the Senate. Both were passed. On October 5, 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed a Joint Resolution designating the annual celebration. Twelve years later, President George H.W. Bush signed an extension making the week-ling celebration into a month-ling celebration. In 1992, the official designation of May as Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month was signed into law.

The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants.

Jewish American History Month

May 1-31
On April 20, 2006, President George W. Bush proclaimed that May would be Jewish American History Month to recognize the more than 350-year history of Jewish contributions to American culture.

Civility Conversation

Tuesday, April 28 at 6:45pm, Temple Hall 002
In the past few weeks an incredible need for the study of communication in the political context has developed.  In the recent Springfield municipal elections hope and fear appeals were used with abandon, identity politics were turned into public trials, and there is now a greater need for the study of these messages, their construction, and effect than ever.

There’s one word that must be kept in mind at all times when engaging in public discourse: CIVILITY.

We will explore what it is, what it means, and how we talk about politics. We will talk about our Public Affairs Mission. We will be moderating this and it will be a safe space for all views, but it is notan issue discussion, it is about how we talk about issues.

Dr. Mike Stout, Director of Missouri State’s Center for Community Engagement, will be in attendance to moderate and help us talk about civility.

Dr. LeAnn Brazeal will be present to address the question of civility online and in regards to youth.

Communications Professor Elizabeth Dudash-Buskirk will be helping to conduct and moderate the event.

We will talk about message construction, engaging with others, diverse viewpoints, and how to effectively communicate disagreements without being disagreeable.

St. Baldrick’s: Fundraiser for Childhood Cancer Research

Wednesday, April 29 at 6pm, PSU Ballroom
Join us for our 3rd annual St. Baldrick’s fundraiser as we work to support childhood cancer research!

St. Baldrick’s is an organization that raises money by hosting events across the country in which participants raise money to shave their headsto support children battling cancer. All of the proceeds from the events go towards childhood cancer research. It is important to note that participants raising money DO NOT have to shave their heads as any donations contribute to the greater cause, which is what we are all about! All shaving or cutting of hair will be conducted by licensed hair professionals.

The event will also have a variety of prizes and activities. We are looking for potential shavees and people who would be willing to help raise money for this cause.  If shaving your head does not interest you, you may also choose to have a portion of your hair cut to donate to an organization of your choice. Again, raising money DOES NOT mean that you have to cut your hair or shave your head.  If you choose to donate your hair, then you must set up the logistics and follow the guidelines set by the organization you will be donating your hair to.

If you are interested in learning more or want to help us reach our goal please visit. https://www.stbaldricks.org/events/mypage/9961/2015.
