The Education and Outreach team at Asia Society Texas Center works with high school and university interns each semester. We have a long-standing internship program with Houston Academy for International Studies in Houston ISD, a school that is a part of Asia Society s International Studies Schools Network. Through our internship program, students directly engage with curriculum-writing, program development, and outreach efforts. Interns learn more about Asian art, history, and culture while gaining direct experience in working with students and families.
We d like to shine a spotlight on one of our high school interns,
Gia Hernandez. Gia is a creative artist, bringing fresh, exciting ideas to each meeting. Her love of learning about different cultures shines through in her work, and her skills with digital media, website design, and filmmaking helped us develop many great virtual activities and fill a great need during this pandemic.
31 Ways to Celebrate in May and Beyond
This Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, join Asia Society for 31 ways to celebrate the vibrant and diverse traditions and contributions of Asians and Asian Americans. Highlighting live programs virtual and in-person alike our calendar also features a curated selection of on-demand family activities, art breaks, staff recommendations, and more.
Since 1979, May has been a dedicated time to celebrate Asian Pacific American heritage, but it wasn t until 1992 that May was officially designated Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Selected to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the U.S. in May 1843 and the completion of the transcontinental railroad in May 1869 that was made possible by thousands of Chinese laborers, APAH Month elevates the stories, contributions, and experiences of the Asian and Asian American communities.
