On April 24th, the PANA Institute (Institute for Leadership Development & Study of Pacific & North American Religion) will be hosting two events. I strongly recommend these if you are in or around the Berkeley area. For anyone studying Asian American religions/spirituality, you should definitely get in touch with the PANA folks. From my personal experience, they are extremely supportive, knowledgable, and just overall great people. Also, they host an annual conference APARRI Conference which provides prominent faculty members to serve as one-on-one mentors for undergrad/grad students (I was able to discuss all sorts of things with David Yoo!). Community Vigil for VA Tech — PSR Chapel Community Vigil In remembrance of all those affected by the recent tragedy at Virginia Tech (Please bring a flower) Tuesday, April 24th, 2007 1:00-1:30pm Steps of the Chapel at the Pacific School of Religion 1798 Scenic Avenue Berkeley, CA 94709 Sponsored by the Institute for Leadership Development and Study of Pacific Asian North American Religion (PANA Institute) and the Office of Community Life at the Pacific School of Religion.
