There are no shortage of employee events at UCOP! If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to connect with colleagues, check out one of these upcoming opportunities.

February 8: Tsai & Yang at the Movies

Join the Asian Pacific Islander Staff Association (APISA) for another installment of the popular Tsai & Yang at the Movies event series!

We will be showing the documentary “Anna May Wong: In Her Own Words,” followed by a discussion. Anna May Wong was one of the few actors to transition from silent to sound cinema, yet she spent most of her career typecast as a painted doll or dragon lady. For years, generations of Chinese Americans frowned upon the roles she played. Today, a younger generation of Asian Americans see her as a pioneering artist. Yunah Hong’s documentary explores the impact Anna May Wong had on Asian Americans in cinema.

• What: Tsai & Yang at the Movies — “Anna May Wong: In Her Own Words”
• When: Feb. 8, 3 – 5 p.m. (PT)
• Join via Zoom: https://UCOP.zoom.us/j/91476572016
• Attend in Oakland: We will meet in the Broadway Building, Room 8001. Be sure to follow all COVID-19 protocols.
