Asian American students continue advocacy against racial discrimination, urge OU administration to act proactively

After immigrating from China, OU graduate student Haifan Xiao expected the common challenges of living and studying in another country. She said she never imagined she would have to face a far greater obstacle — not feeling “normal” in the midst of a global pandemic. Xiao and a friend left the airport in Ames, Iowa, after Xiao’s flight from Beijing, China, which lasted over 24 hours. Xiao’s arrival in Ames marked the first time she’d traveled to the U.S. Hungry from the trip, Xiao and her friend decided to head to a local fast-food restaurant. When the pair sat down — the only Asians in the restaurant — and began speaking Chinese, Xiao said she felt as if every eye in the restaurant was trained on their table.

Tree planted in support of President Joe Harroz, Harroz family in front of Bizzell Memorial Library

The OU Office for Student Affairs hosted a memorial ceremony and planted a tree on the south side of the Bizzell Memorial Library in support of OU President Joseph Harroz and the Harroz family. Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Associate Dean of Students Kristen Partridge said the ceremony and tree dedication were a way to honor President Harroz and his family after his father, an OU graduate, died of COVID-19 on Sept. 24, 2020. During the ceremony, Partridge said the tradition of planting trees on OU’s campus has survived since OU’s first president, David Ross Boyd, arrived in Norman with a nursery of tree saplings. The tree that previously stood in the area was removed in January 2020 after it was infected with a fungus.
