UNR Grads Of The Pack: Emily Thao-Singh
Thao-Singh graduated from the School of Public Health and gave a speech at the Asian Pacific Islander Affinity Graduation Ceremony.
Asian Pacific Islander (API) Heritage Month officially started May 1, and most students were busy with final projects and studying before the semester ended, including recent graduate Emily Thao-Singh. That is why she, along with other student workers in the Multicultural Center at the University of Nevada, Reno held more than ten API events in April to ensure graduating students like themselves were able to honor API month before finals season began.
Thao-Singh is a public health major who worked as a student supervisor at the Multicultural Center at the University. Her duties included overseeing the student staff, assisting with event planning and maintaining order in the Center. The purpose of the API events was to give underrepresented students an outlet to be themselves, and a space to feel included and heard, she said.
Events ranging from karaoke, craft nights, self-care nights and an API night market all took place within April and throughout the year.
