The Asian & Asian American Community Center Forum was this past Monday, March 31st.

Last month, Pres. Skorton and Vice Pres. Susan Murphy promised to start a committee that would establish an Asian & Asian American community center, to act as a hub for social, academic, and community support and to raise awareness to the greater Cornell community on the richness of the Asian & Asian American experience. The meeting's purpose was to answer questions such as, What do you want from a community center? What does it mean to you?

Nathan Shinagawa was a panelist for the forum on Monday. He is not only a graduate student here at Cornell University, but also the youngest county legislator in the history of Tompkins County, NY and serves as the Chairman of the Budget and Capital Committee. He is also a member of the Health and Human Services. Shinagawa serves on the boards of the Health Planning Council, Senior Citizens Council, Mental Health Services Board, and the Ithaca Asian American Association. In 2006, Shinagawa was named the area's top legislator on behalf of working families by the Central New York Labor Council (SEIU, UAW, IBEW, etc.). http://www.nathanshinagawa.org/

At this event, come listen to Nathan Shinagawa speak about his experienceas an Asian American in politics. We would like to have this discussion again with individuals who could not make the past meeting and would like to bring up more issues, as well as answer any questions you have for us.
