AAPI History Quiz – Continue the Learning

May 9, 2022 | Community

This May, WR Immigration is celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. For nearly two centuries, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have been important contributors to American society, culture, and the economy. AAPI is an umbrella term that includes cultures and ethnicities from the entire Asian continent (including East, Southeast and South Asia). The diverse achievements of this community touch every sector of our nation, from atomic science, to filmmaking, to civil rights. This May, we are excited to spotlight the unique cultures and stories that comprise this community.

We also believe celebrating AAPI history means acknowledging the unique challenges the AAPI community has faced, especially in the context of immigration. In this vein, WR Immigration invites our friends, colleagues, and clients to take our AAPI Immigration Quiz. We created the quiz with the aim of stimulating conversation about what it means to be a “nation of immigrants” and a member of the AAPI community. We hope you learn something new about the history, tenacity, and extraordinary contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States this month, and we hope you continue the learning all year round. We are also excited to learn from you! Tag #GrowWithWRImmigration to share your thoughts and reflections.

Why Women’s History Matters

Women have always played a vital role in building America, yet their accomplishments have too often gone unnoticed.  Learning about the women who history overlooked allows us to deepen our gratitude for the trailblazers who sacrificed so much to contribute to the improvement of our society. It also allows us the space to challenge misconceptions we may hold and fortify our knowledge of the diverse individuals who have shaped our country.   In honor of Women’s History Month, WR Immigration is inviting our peers, employees, friends, and clients to take a moment to reflect on the incredible contributions that women made not only in the United States but across the globe.  For starters, we are kicking off this month with another interactive learning experience – our Women’s History Quiz – that is part of WR Immigration’s “Continue the Learning” program.  We encourage you to take this 3-minute quiz to test your knowledge of women’s rights as well as the contributions of several influential women in the arts, sciences, business, and politics. After you take the quiz, check out the additional learning resources we have posted below.
