Event Post-Poned: VOICE at UCI: Photo Exhibition and Presentation on COVID-19 and the Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities

Thank you for your interest in the event tonight on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities "Through our Eyes, Hear our Stories", online student exhibition entitled VOICE (Visualizing Our Identities and Culture for Empowerment). In light of the recent mass shooting in Atlanta, our students have asked for space to process this moment. We will be postponing the exhibition to a later date.
