which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin,
age, disability, sex and religion.  Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois,
OCR=s Region V office covers entities in the states of Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin.

An Equal Opportunity Specialist (EOS) brings strong analytical and
communications skills to the performance of  a wide array of enforcement,
outreach, educational, investigative and technical assistance activities,

human services in federally-funded programs. Examples of OCR=s current

periodic compliance reviews of public and private health and human services
agencies to determine if the agency=s policies and practices are in
compliance with federal civil rights laws; negotiate corrective action plans
and settlement agreements; respond to questions, provide technical
assistance and train Federal colleagues and Federally-assisted entities on
particular civil rights statutes and regulations through speeches, briefings
and other forms of oral communication; and participate in outreach to the

***2002 Summer Internship Program***
APAICS offers one of the most prestigious pan-Asian American summer
internship program in Washington, DC.  Our annual program provides stipends
for approximately 15 outstanding college students from around the country to
come to the nation's capital to work in congressional offices, federal
agencies and institutions that further APAICS' mission.  The internship
program is designed to promote the political and civic involvement of young
Asian American and Pacific Islanders, foster their interest in public
policy-related careers, and develop their leadership skills.

***2002-03 Fellowship Programs***
The Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS)
offers two prestigious fellowship programs in Washington, DC.  The Frank
Horton Fellowship was established in honor of former Congressman Frank
Horton who played a leading role in the passage of H.R. 5572 in 1992, which
permanently designated the month of May as "Asian Pacific American Heritage
Month."  The Daniel K. Inouye Fellowship was established in honor of Senator
Daniel K. Inouye of Hawaii, a decorated combat veteran of World War II who
has served our nation with distinction in the United States House of
Representatives and Senate for nearly 40 years.

The fellowship programs are designed to provide a unique opportunity to an
outstanding graduate student who has a commitment to the Asian American and
Pacific Islander communities, and who plans to pursue a public policy
career.  The fellow will spend nine months in Washington, D.C., either in
the office of a Congressional member, a Congressional committee or a federal
agency.
