On Saturday, Sept. 28 the Hmong community hosted a free community celebration and reception to welcome Yang Sao Xiong, Ph.D. to Madison. After ten years of advocacy to meet the needs of the University, students, and the Hmong community, UW-Madison hired Xiong to teach the first Hmong American Studies in the Nation. The Hmong American Studies will be part of the Asian American Program and the School of Social Work.
