The Asian American Studies Program hosted several courses and events on Hmong American experiences and scholarship.
During 2008-2009, a visiting assistant professor in Hmong Studies taught three courses about Hmong Americans, including a service learning course. Students reported they learned how to think critically about Hmong issues which took them beyond just learning about historical events and cultural practices.
The program also hosted 11 speakers (10 talks and 2 workshops) in the Hmong Speakers Series. The talks were attended by students, faculty, staff, and community members, and utilized an innovative format that created a learning community and connections.
