Event Details
KIN-ETIC is a community-campus partnership that will bring students, faculty/staff, community organizers, activists, and other leaders together to engage in civic-community projects centered on the needs and strengths of Chicago’s Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. Its three goals are to:
- Activate students, faculty/staff, and community members to become agents of change in AAPI communities
- Identify and strengthen opportunities to increase civic and community engagement on UIC’s campus and with the surrounding AAPI communities
- Develop pathways to meaningful partnership with AAPI community organizations
The first half of the event features three keynote speakers who will focus on their journeys of activism and civic/community engagement. The second half presents an opportunity to network with many AAPI community organizations and learn how you can engage in meaningful grassroots work to help the community. Its aim is to cultivate connections among students, faculty, and AAPI community organizations.
