【转策划组织者之一摄影师单东旭的一段话】當初策劃「亞裔在萊鎮」這個影展的其中一個初衷是希望也能利用影展的組織過程增加萊鎮居民對亞裔的認知和亞裔居民對社區文化的參與。讓人最感到欣慰的是萊鎮亞裔孩子們對影展的參與和支持。從照片裝框，圖書館三個展廳的布展和撤展，每次都有十幾個學生義工幫忙參與完成。孩子們做事的認真高效，保證了每次繁瑣的工作都能按時，甚至提前完成。六月影展完成前不久，萊鎮的一個華裔青少年編輯部又主動接力承辦影展作品義賣，支持圖書館少年閱覽室更新項目。義賣社會人文照片在策展當初就有人提議，但考慮到難度我沒有同意。可這些孩子們卻知難而進，經過一個夏天很有創意的努力，讓一個挑戰性非常大的任務變成了豐碩的秋實。打心底為他們自豪和點贊。

百人会的问卷这里做 ，发出我们的声音
Columbia University, one of the world’s leading research universities, and Committee of 100, a non-profit membership organization of prominent Chinese Americans, today announced that its joint survey on “The State of Chinese Americans” is now open. CAAL is the partner for this survey.
The joint research will provide much-needed data to shed light on the demographic, economic, health, and sociopolitical situations of the Chinese American population, and inform policymakers and the public on the status and needs of the community. The survey data will inform timely and responsive policies, programs, and services.
The nationwide survey will be conducted online in English, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese. All adults self-identifying of Chinese-ethnic origin and living in the United States are encouraged to participate in the anonymous survey here: bit.ly/ChineseAmericanSurvey. The research is carried out by researchers of the China Center for Social Policy at Columbia University School of Social Work and Committee of 100.
Partnerships
We are proud to be partnering with community organizations across the country in rolling out this survey. Our research teams completed a successful pilot study of the survey this summer, with the help of the Chinese-American Planning Council, Chinese American Women in Action, the Community Youth Center of San Francisco, and the U.S. Heartland China Association. Columbia and Committee of 100 invite additional organizations, community members, and interested groups to participate and partner in this critical research project, to amplify the voices of Chinese American communities nationwide. For more information on how you can become involved, please contact swchinesesurvey@columbia.edu.
Parents, students, and anyone looking to figure out their next step in life: you’re invited to join us for an evening with Boston College professor, psychologist, and author Belle Liang for a look into her new book, “How to Navigate Life: the New Science of Finding Yourself and Your Way in School, Work, and Beyond,” co-authored with fellow BC professor Tim Klein.How to Navigate Life has reached Amazon’s best sellers list and been featured on NPR and other national media.
There’s more to personal fulfillment than performance; but the “happiness mindset” of chasing our passions can leave us disappointed when we realize our expectations for constant happiness will never be met. So how do we make better choices that help us find our way to a more satisfying, purpose-centered life? As it turns out, there’s plenty of research to help. This is the topic for the evening, featuring an interactive presentation in a conversational format with Dr. Liang followed by a book-signing. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event.
