President's Welcome
I am honored to follow in the footsteps of Presidents Shuhong Liu and Xinkai Kong and become the 4th UDCA President. I was a high school physics teacher about 40 years ago and am currently a college professor in teacher education. I moved to Upper Dublin in 2011 and have served on the UDCA board since 2013. More recently, I have become interested in conversations related to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, from an Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) perspective. While serving as a co-chair of the UDSD Asian American Students and Families Committee, I worked with Dr. Cynthia Song and other community members to initiate the inaugural district-wide AAPI Heritage Month Celebration event in 2017. In May of 2022, supported by a group of enthusiastic UDCA students and parents, Dr. Jianhua Zhao and I co-founded an Intercultural Club, aiming to promote a deeper understanding and mutual respect among our communities by engaging in culture-related activities, service, learning, and education. I am also passionate about the integration of AAPI aspects into curriculum and instruction, as well as the development of our children’s soft skills, leadership skills, and overall well-being. I sincerely invite all UDCA members to join together on our journey. Together and by association, let’s connect and build a supportive and warm environment for our members in the community. Let’s serve, inspire, and touch the hearts. 千里之行，始于足下。Together, we are surely and steadily marching toward a brighter future!
