The
NCORE 2003 was a roaring success in terms of the number of participants
and very positive feedback from them. We also had a record number of
API presentations and presenters. The API Institute was a great success,
as judged by the lucky 25 participants who attended, and promises to
be even better next year. Special thanks are extended to Jay Minh Alt,
Pamela Chao, Jean Wu, Gemma Skillman, and Evelyn Hu-Dehart for organizing
and running the Institute. Special appreciation is also extended to Jay
Minh Alt for chairing the caucus meetings.

The
NCORE Proposal Review Committee is reporting that it has yet to receive
a proposal dealing with API issues. It is of extreme concern to all of
us at NCORE and the Southwest Center. If you have an idea you would like
to share with our national audience, please submit a proposal. If you
are not interested in making a proposal this time, perhaps you may know
of someone who is interested or can encourage some of your colleagues
or acquaintances to submit proposals. Our NCORE staff member, Pari, tells
me that she is willing to extend the deadline for those who may need
some extra time to complete their proposals. She can be reached at (405)
292-4172 or via email.

We
will have our first Asian Pacific pre-conference institute during NCORE

himself essentially to get the group together and diligently worked
toward the final product. We owe Jason a great deal of gratitude
The Call
for Presentations has been posted. The deadline is February 3, 2003.
If you have an idea you wish to share with the national audience, this
is your opportunity. NCORE is continuing to be interested in proposals
dealing with API issues or an integrative approach to cross-cultural
understanding and cooperation.

The Caucus
is in the process of developing a three-part special institute designed
to address critical issues and concerns faced by Asian Pacific Islanders,
from faculty and staff to graduate and undergraduate students in higher
education. This institute will be offered during the NCORE 2003 conference
in San Francisco. We are very excited about this opportunity and hope
that you will support the idea. If you have ideas or suggestions about
this institute, please forward them to Jason

All individuals
interested in addressing API and cross-cultural issues during the NCORE
2002 conference (New Orleans) are invited to submit presentation proposals
for review. While the number of API proposals and API presenters increased

from the conference.
