Kat Fuenty, AAS Office Support Associate has been awarded an LAS Impact Award for providing outstanding support and genuine personal attention to the students, staff and faculty of the Department of Asian American Studies during the pandemic.

“Someday we’ll all be asked, ‘How did you make it through the COVID-19 pandemic?’ The recipients of the LAS Impact Award show us how:  through countless acts of compassion, adaptability, and resilience.” – Gene Robinson, interim dean of the College of LAS and Swanlund Chair in Entomology

The LAS Impact Award has been established to recognize inspiring efforts during COVID-19. From day one Kat went above and beyond to help our department plan and execute our procedures during this pandemic. Their hard work and dedication to continuing our mission has been and continues to be invaluable.

Congratulations Kat!
