APIA U: Leadership 101
5th Annual Series of Leadership Trainings for all college Asian Pacific
Islander American students
 
Northern Illinois University, DeKalb-February 7-8, 2004
 
The mission of these leadership trainings is to provide Asian Pacific
Islander American (APIA) students an environment to develop leadership
and organizing skills that are relevant to APIA students on campuses and in
communities.  The 1-1/2 day training will bring together students
throughout the region to share experiences and develop tools to effectively serve
as a catalyst for change and activism.

The format of the program is interactively structured with
presentations, hands-on exercises and discussions.  Sixty participants are expected to
share and participate fully to enable challenge and growth in this
group process.  Participants attending the training are expected to attend
the full weekend as the sessions and exercises build on each other to
enhance the understanding of the concepts. The day will focus on team building
and the development of building relationships, self-awareness, and
team-awareness.  The training will offer space for fusion of leadership
and ethnic identity issues and how to use your skills to address difficult
campus and societal issues. At the same time, it will present a
leadership training that keeps in mind the viewpoint and experiences of Asian
Pacific Islander Americans and students of color. This will include how
cultural influences have an impact on how you lead and various issues facing
APIA students.

The trainings will begin on Saturday at 8:30 am and end with a
reception hosted for the students and local Asian Pacific Islander American
community leaders. On Sunday, the program is scheduled for 8:30 am - 12:00 pm.
Participants should be APIA college students who will be returning to
campus for an undergraduate degree next year.
 
The training is FREE. To ensure that all registrants are committed to
attending the entire day and a half and to avoid last minute
cancellations, we ask for a $15 deposit to hold each seat.  All trainings will be
limited to 60 participants.  Your check will be returned to you at the end of

Saturday will be provided.  Students are responsible for their own
transportation and accommodation needs.
