On May 21, 2010, the FBI St. Louis Division invited Dr. Hung-Gay Fung to be a guest speaker to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is celebrated in May to commemorate the contributions of people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent in the United States.
Dozens of FBI employees listened to Dr. Fung speak about Chinese culture, Feng Shui and I-Ching while tasting treats from a Chinese bakery.Dr. Fung is a past president of the St. Louis chapter of the OCA (Organization of Chinese Americans). The FBI also invited current OCA President Eling Lam and board member Thong Tarm to participate.
For future events, Ms. Lam is working with the FBI to host a half-day presentation in which the Chinese American community in St. Louis can learn more about the mission, goals, history, and internal workings of the FBI. The FBI holds these events with various community groups as a means to exchange information between the FBI and the participating communities. Through this exchange, criminal problems affecting communities will be identified and addressed.
In August, the FBI St. Louis Division is also planning to participate in OCA's upcoming career fair. The FBI is recruiting qualified applicants to be agents and professional staff (non-agents). Non-agent positions include a wide variety of jobs such as interpreters, laboratory scientists, computer experts and analysts. Visit www.fbijobs.gov to learn more about FBI jobs and current openings.
The FBI St. Louis Division is responsible for the eastern half of Missouri.
