PatNet News: June Edition
Happy Pride month!! Summer is in full swing, and hope everyone is enjoying. Whatever journey you’re on, I hope you find some time this month to get some fresh air and celebrate how far you’ve come.
May Recap
AANHPI month! We highlighted some great community events happening, so hopefully you were able to make some new connections and hear some inspiring stories.
We had an amazing picnic! The perfect mix of yummy food (as always), fun activities, and meeting new friends. Thanks to all our helpers for handcrafting rice balls for us.
This month
Our scholarship is launching June 9th!!! If you’re an undergrad based in NY state, you are eligible to apply for two awards of $1,000 each. Go to our website for full details. This has been a major goal for Patina ever since we started so we’re so psyched to give back to our spectacular community of students. Applications close July 14th.
We're planning a hike on June 28th! Mark you calendar and keep an eye out for more details!
Have an idea for an event? We wanna hear it!!!! Drop it here.
