Advancing Leaders Through Innovation: AANHPI Heritage Month 2024 Events

May is Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Since 2021, the Federal Asian Pacific American Council has been building on the theme of Advancing Leaders (Through Purpose-Driven Science in 2021; Collaboration in 2022; Opportunity in 2023). And now in 2024 — Advancing Leaders Through Innovation by paying "homage to the visionaries and trailblazers who have shaped AANHPI history and continue to influence our collective future."

UVA Health reaffirms our commitment to nurturing the professional growth and progression of every team member, including those who are underrepresented, ensuring a more diverse and empowered workforce — moving us forward in our bold vision.
