Vangyee Yang ’01 featured in Star Tribune article.
Vangyee Yang ’01 was featured an August 22 Star Tribune article titled “Bridging The Hmong Gap: Of time, talk and the river” about a camping trip that serves to build connections between the younger and older generations of the local Hmong community. Yang is the director of refugee settlement at Neighborhood House, a social service agency that has been helping newly arriving immigrants— Russian, Irish, Mexican, Ethiopian, Hmong—for 107 years on St. Paul’s west side. “The idea,” Yang said, “was to bring the two generations together as one and talk and communicate. The goal is to have improved communication once we return to civilization.” Yang was an Asian studies major at Carleton.
