PAACH Director: Now Associate Director for Asian American Studies Dr. Ajay T. Nair, the director of the Pan-Asian American Community House (PAACH) since fall 2002 (Almanac November 5, 2002), has left that position to become associate director of the Asian American Studies Department. Dharma Naik, PAACH program coordinator, will serve as interim director of the cultural resource center, which opened in 2000. Beginning this spring, a national search for a full-time director will be conducted. "Dr. Nair will be a great addition to the Asian American Studies Department, providing strong leadership as he did at PAACH," said Dr. Valarie Swain-Cade McCoullum, Vice Provost for University Life. Hilal Nakiboglu, a doctoral student in the Graduate School of Education, has joined PAACH in a part-time capacity as program coordinator. Bernard Ukwuegbu will continue in his role as graduate assistant, and Kusum Soin will continue her responsibilities as PAACH office coordinator. Additional information about the Pan-Asian American Community House, its mission and programs, can be found on its website at www.vpul.upenn.edu/paach.
