Dear AAPI Alumni and Friends,
As 2025 gets underway, we are excited to announce the inauguration of a new AAPAAN initiative – the biennial AAPI Alumni Achievement Award.
This award, along with the biennial AAPI Advancement Award for distinguished UVA faculty members, represents AAPAAN’s commitment to continuously building and strengthening connections between AAPI alumni and the UVA community. To celebrate the outstanding achievements of UVA’s Asian/Pacific American alumni, AAPAAN will present the AAPI Alumni Achievement Award to an alumnus/alumna who best exemplifies the positive impact made by UVA’s AAPI alumni on their local communities and the greater AAPI community. These awards will be presented biennially, with the inaugural award presentation taking place during the 2025 Asian Alumni Weekend (April 25-27, 2025).
To make the AAPI Alumni Achievement Award an all-inclusive event, we are inviting everyone in our AAPI alumni community to nominate the best candidate for this special honor. Online nominations will go live on January 13, 2025, so please be on the lookout for our email announcement with the nomination form.
More details to follow – stay tuned!
