Reflecting its continual growth since the 1990s, Cal State Fullerton's Asian American Studies Program offi-
cially became a department this month. Asian American studies played a key role in the establishment of
CSUF's Asian Pacific American Resource Center and continues to develop strong community partnerships
with such organizations as the Orange County Asian and Pacific Islander Community Alliance, Korean Re-
source Center, Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Orange County, and Vietnamese American Arts and
Letters Association.

The National Resource Center for Asian Languages (NRCAL) was designed to improve the
nation’s capacity for the teaching and learning of Asian languages including Vietnamese,
Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. NRCAL’s main focus is to improve the teaching, learning,
and research of Asian languages in the United States by drawing on the expertise of Asian
language scholars, educators, and community stakeholders.
Training students to be bilingual not only enhances their cognition, employment opportuni-
ties, and cultural competency, but also improves national business development, innovation,
and security. Our goals are achievable through collaboration with K-12 school districts and
community-based organizations.
Magnolia High School of Anaheim Union High
School District
is offering Vietnamese World Language Program starting 2018-2019!
Students will have an
opportunity to earn the Seal of Biliteracy Award.
