New Student Assistants
My name is Chi Tran. I'm one of the new
student assistants at the Southeast Asian Archives.
This is my second year at UCI as a biology major.
I grew up in Vietnam and lived there for almost
fourteen years. I came to the United States six
years ago with my parents, brother, and sister.
Currently I live in Santa Ana and commute to UCI
everyday. In my spare time I enjoy reading novels
and listening to music.
My first year at UCI was great. I'm hoping
that working at the Archive will give me the
opportunity to get to know more people and make
more friends.
My name is Phuong-Uyen N. Tran. I'm the
other new student assistant at the Southeast Asian
Archive. I'm a junior computer science major and
I'm originally from Saigon. We came to Covington
Kentucky (it's a small town) in 1985 through the
Orderly Departure Program to live with my
grandmother. In 1988 we came to California. I
currently reside in Costa Mesa with my parents,
three sisters, and one brother. Unlike other girls,
I enjoy watching movies alone when I have free
time. I hope to graduate in Summer, 1996 and
find work with a computer company.

UCI Chancellor's Address
UCI's new chancellor, Laurel L. Wilkening,
recognized Orange County's Tony Lam and his
family in her recent inaugural address. Citing the
University's role in helping new immigrants and
refugees to acquire the skills to succeed, she
mentioned as one of her examples the
Westminster city council member and his
daughter. Kathy Lam recently graduated from
UCI with a degree in electrical engineering and
immediately found a job with Rockwell.
