IN RECOGNITION OF ASIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH
APRIL 2009

The United States of America is a great mosaic of different races and ethnic groups, each celebrating its unique culture in our society. In keeping with this tradition, Asian/Pacific Islanders are recognized for the many contributions and countless achievements that they have made to our state and nation.

Asian/Pacific Islanders serve on our faculty and staff and are well represented in our student body. Through their presence and active participation, they have enriched our social, cultural, and educational experiences on campus with dedicated leadership, intellectual achievements, and artistic expressions.

Montclair State University proudly acknowledges the many accomplishments of Asian Pacific Islanders and reaffirms its commitment to provide educational and employment opportunities to members of this group and to the broader community.

NOW THEREFORE, I, Susan A. Cole, President of Montclair State University, hereby proclaim April as Asian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month at Montclair State University, and I encourage our entire campus community to join me in celebrating this occasion.

SUSAN A. COLE
