As we wrap up the 2024-2025 school year, UC Irvine Libraries are thrilled to be distributing our annual awards to students and scholars. In addition to three Southeast Asian Archive Anne Frank Visiting Researcher Awardees, we also have four undergraduate students who were given a Nellie Ansley Reeves Award for their senior theses. With these awards and a flurry of student stress relief programs, the end of the terms is racing toward us.

We also recently celebrated the Orange County and Southeast Asian Archive (OC&SEAA) Center's 10th anniversary. Dedicated to Orange County’s history and Southeast Asian diaspora experiences, this center is a special place, and I am confident that its next decade will be just as impactful.
