New SEA CLEAR Project Director for 2009-2010

Good afternoon everyone,

It is with great pleasure and honor to announce the selection of the 2009-2010 project director for the Vietnamese Student Union’s Southeast Asian Campus Learning Education and Retention Project, Cecilia Ngo.

Cecilia graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2008 majoring in Sociology with a minor in Public Affairs.

As a student, Cecilia was in a vast array of activities during her tenure at UCLA. Most prominently Cecilia has served as a former Peer Counseling Coordinator and Peer counselor for SEA CLEAR and as well as the Service Chair for Circle K International. Currently she is employed as the Southern California Housing Rights Center as an Outreach Coordinator, where she serves to promote fair housing.

We are very lucky to have Cecilia Ngo return to the Vietnamese Student Union. Cecilia brings a vast array of experiences and skills that will contribute to VSU, SEA CLEAR, and beyond. We are very excited to have the pleasure to continue to work with her.

Cecilia will begin her duties as project director of SEA CLEAR on July 1st, 2009 but will begin her transition very soon. Please say congratulations to Cecilia when you see her around the office. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Diana Ngo-Vuong who has faithfully served the project and the Vietnamese Student Union for the past three years as project director for SEA CLEAR, and will continue to be employed in such capacity until June 30th, 2009.
