Dear MAASU members,

The Ohio State University is hosting the MAASU 2010 Spring Conference in less than two months! This year's theme is "Make It Count."

The 2010 Census will define who we are as a nation. Knowing that Asian Americans have been underrepresented in the past, we want to ensure that this year we catalyze the change we want to see, in political representation and allocation of government funding. This year the MAASU Spring Conference will emphasize the importance of Making it Count: your identity, your voice, and your vision. It’s important to know and care about issues relevant to the Asian Pacific Islander American community. How can we make a difference if the Census Bureau can’t even accurately count our numbers? We will not remain complacent to the fact that we are underrepresented – it’s time to embrace our Asian heritage and American culture and realize the significance of our identity, our voice, our vision.

Be sure to become a member of MAASU today to take advantage of the Early Registration rate for member schools of $35 per participant! And it comes with a shirt!
