Dr. Nancy (Nien Tsu) Chen, who teaches in the Communication program, helped start the Alhambra Source five years ago while she was in her PhD program at USC. Alhambra Source is a website that provides news to the predominantly immigrant area of the San Gabriel Valley. It shares local information in English, Spanish and Mandarin so those whose second language is English can become informed and civically engaged in their community.
Dr. Chen is passionate about the work she puts into this news source because of her ethnic background. She shared that she relates to the problems that new immigrants face because of her own experiences or awareness of those problems. The goal of this website is to connect residents of diverse backgrounds and empower them to participate in the local decision-making process. Dr. Chen continues to contribute to the Alhambra Source in order to provide this service to the community of the San Gabriel Valley.
