The 2015 winners of the UCONN AsACC Endowed Scholarship and Asiantation Mentoring Program (AMP) Awards were officially announced at the Asian American Cultural Center’s annual Senior Night and Awards Banquet on Sunday, April 26th, 2015.
The UCONN AsACC Endowed Scholarship is a renewable $1000 per year award, payable up to four years or until the student successfully completes his/her undergraduate requirements for graduation, provided all criteria are met each year.
Thanks to generous support from donors, this year’s AsACC Endowment Fund was able to recognize three students for their demonstrated involvement and leadership in the Asian/Asian American community. The 2015 awardees are Ranice Chong, Jessica Lee and Sarah McManus.
We extend our appreciation to the AsACC Endowed Scholarship Committee for their work in reviewing this year’s pool of worthy applicants – Prof. Jason Chang (History), Jan Huber (Co-founder, KUBE program), Sheila Kucko (AsACC), (Rod Rock (Director, Jorgensen Center), and Joliana Yee (Hall Director, Residential Life).
The Asiantation Mentoring Program (AMP), AsACC’s award-winning peer mentoring program, awards $250 annually to the Mentor and Mentee of the Year. The 2015 AMP Mentor of the Year is JUSTIN NG and the 2015 AMP Mentee of the Year is JUEFANG CASSIE ZHANG. The winners were chosen by AMP’s coordinators, Megha Patel, Mikey Truong, and May La, along with their supervisor AsACC GA Jack Nguyen.
