Announcing Our 2023 Conference Team
The East Coast Asian American Student Union (ECAASU) is thrilled to announce that the 2023 annual ECAASU Conference will be hosted by the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia! The conference will take place in the spring of 2023.
Co-conference directors Estelle Kim and Gordon Shi reflected on their efforts to secure the 2023 conference bid:
“Hey all! We’re really excited to be hosting the 2023 ECAASU conference! Over the summer, our team at UVA had to navigate a plethora of personal and logistical challenges in our pursuit of the perfect bid, but we persevered and poured all our love and thoughtfulness into the project. The result? This wonderful opportunity to both reflect on the struggles of our Asian American diaspora and reconnect with a greater sense of our cultural identity! Can’t wait to see you all soon!
While recognizing that we are still living through a pandemic that continues to threaten the health of our communities, we hope to provide a hybrid conference that both is safe and can foster a sense of community after two fully-virtual conferences. We will continue to evaluate what will best serve our communities when planning the format of this conference.”
We congratulate Estelle, Gordon, and the rest of the University of Virginia bid team for their efforts, and look forward to an exciting and inspiring conference next spring.
