Position reports to the Associate Vice Provost for Equity and Access.

I've worked with AAPI students at the University of Pennsylvania before on several occasions, and they're a great group. For further information about the position, and to apply, go to the Jobs@Penn website here. And for more information about the Pan-Asian American Community House, go here.
