Congrats to Angela Chen & Katie Coleman! They were selected as 2022 Vorasane Scholars. This award is given to UConn students advancing K-12 AAPI education in Connecticut.
Thanks to the generous funding from Khamla Vorasane of @bounombakery to shape CT's future education leaders.
Khamla Vorasane and Chan Graham
are sisters and co-founders of BouNom Bakery in Avon. Together, they’re advocating for their community by raising money for groups fighting Asian hate and sponsoring a scholarship for @uconn’s Asian and Asian American Studies Institute. #AAPIHM
How can history education help to heal hatred? And what’s the latest on Asian-American education initiatives where we live? Today, hear from @BouNomBakery about the scholarship they're sponsoring, and from students at @AmityRegionalHS pushing for change. https://t.co/023qvU17zh

“If you ask people about Asian American history, all they know is that the Chinese came and built the railroads. We wanted a broader idea about how Asian Americans were an integral part of the growth of the United States.”
In her parents’ honor, Khamla Vorasane, who founded BouNom Bakery in Avon with her sister, has started a scholarship for UConn students studying to be teachers who take classes in Asian and Asian American studies. https://t.co/FzK7RzOOWe
