Whoa...so many events!

October is a busy month...midterms (actually, I have one tomorrow I should study for. Hmmm...), colder weather, extracurriculars heating up...and AAA is no different! We have a ton of interesting events that we encourage you all to attend this week!

1. Teach for America Information Session - interested in public education, kids, or social justice? Want to take a few years off from school or before starting your "real life" job? This is one excellent option to consider!  Sever 102, Tuesday (Oct. 12), 6-7 PM 

2. (Ice Cream) Brain Break for the Ballot - geared at freshmen, although everyone welcome! We'll help you register to vote or get your absentee ballot for the upcoming November elections. And then we'll give you ice cream. How awesome is that? Annenberg D-Hall, Wednesday (Oct. 13), 9-10:30 PM


3. Harvard Asian American Alumni Alliance (H4A) 1st Inaugural Summit - join us for an exciting weekend of movie screenings, receptions, panels, networking, the Elevate Pitch Competition and a chance to meet many of Harvard's coolest Asian American alumni! Harvard University, Friday - Sunday (Oct. 15-17)


4. We also encourage all undergraduates to sign up for one of our mentorship programs. Check your emails - you can be placed with a graduate school mentor from Harvard Medical School, Business School, or Law School!

5. Finally, we support our LGBTQ friends in National Coming Out Day (Oct. 12). There will be a rally tomorrow morning and a vigil tomorrow night, so please join us in these events if you can!

Socially just? Leader? Care about the APIA community?

Then you should apply for the Youth Advisory Council for the Asian American Center for Advancing Justice (AAJC)! I'd love to see more folks in our community expressing their social just-ness any and every way they can!    <3 Athena
