Dr. Evelyn Ho is a Professor of Communication Studies, Asian Pacific American Studies, and Critical Diversity Studies at the University of San Francisco. She spends her time teaching classes about the intersection of health, culture, and communication, mentoring students, and doing research about complementary and integrative health care primarily in monolingual Chinese American communities. The applied research she has co-conducted with collaborators is being used by Chinese American patients to co-construct health education materials for others like them. She shares that “It has been a privilege to have this vocation which was modeled to me by so many amazing professors at UW. At an institution as big as UW, I never felt like a number in Speech Comm[unication]. I felt seen, heard, encouraged, and taken seriously, and I work really hard to do the same in my own work.” It was the experience of being immersed in academic and extracurricular exploits on campus that has helped Ho cultivate holistic learning experiences for her students. According to her nominator, “Evelyn has demonstrated continuous community engagement throughout her life. Her continued commitment to understanding alternative medicine and supporting health communication more broadly speak to how she has used research to further community concerns.”
