As we prepare for the new academic year, there are a number of exciting things happening with the Hmong Studies Center. We welcome a new faculty member to UWGB, Dr. Christin DePouw, whose research has focused on critical race theory and post-secondary education, with special emphasis on Hmong college students. At UW-Eau Claire Dr. DePow was the faculty advisor for the Hmong Student Association and was actively involved in efforts to develop a Hmong Studies minor at the university. You can visit Christin's UW-Eau Claire webpage.
