ХХ Х II Конвенція СУА 91 Arizona State University In 2018, Arizona State University (ASU) introduced Ukrainian as a “critical” language, the knowledge of w hich is essential to America’s national security and included language instruction as part of a comprehensive Ukrainian program. The program is managed by the ASU Melikan Center’s Critical Language Institute Ukrainian Fund, a program to which UNWLA has con tributed $10,000 for three consecutive years. As stated in the program’s website information guide, “Students with no previous experience learn to understand Ukrainian culture and to speak Ukrainian.....preparing them to function in Ukraine.” In 2020, the UN WLA donation was made in memory of historian Mark von Hagen (who passed in 2019), a faculty member of ASU , and formerly with Columbia University in New York City. A staunch supporter of Ukraine and Ukrainian Studies, Professor von Hagen was a co - founder of the first post - Soviet international organization of Ukraine - subject scholars (MAU). In 2003, The New York Times commissioned Prof. vo n Hagen to write an assessment of correspondent Walter Duranty’s reporting about atrocities in the former Soviet Union, in cluding a cover - up of the Holodomor, in an effort to have the Pulitzer Prize Committee revoke Durant’s award. Feeding America In April 2020, UNWLA launched the project Feeding the Hungry, UNWLA FOR USA . All branches were invited to donate toward “a gif t of food” for fellow Americans in need during the difficult times of the COVID pandemic. UNWLA matched donations from individuals up to maximum of $10,000 in total. Toward the project overall, UNWLA donated a total of $31,140 to Feeding America, an organization that receives an excellent Charity Navigator score of 94.3. Feeding America project logo Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus of North America In February 2021, the 150 th anniversary of birth poet and artist Lesia Ukrainka was commemorated worldwide. The Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus of North America (UBC), under the leadership of Artistic Di rector and Conductor Oleh Mahla y, had developed a visionary concert program dedicated to the poet’s creative work. Originally planned for as a multi - city tour to take place in autumn 2021, due to COVID restrictions, the concert tour has been postponed unti l 2022. The UBC approached the UNWLA National Board with a proposal of collaboration to present and promote the series of concerts as an official cultural event of UNWLA . The artistic goal of this unique program is to highlight Lesia Ukrainka’s poetry, pow er, and place in Ukrainian culture with songs set to the poet’s words, graphics of Lesia Ukrainka’s wax recordings of kobzari from the early 20th century, photo projections onto a wide screen , and powerful narration to propel the story. Among the extraordinary elements of the program is that audiences will be able to hear a recording of Lesia Ukrainka’s actual voice as she read her poetry. This program is an exciting effort that unites an impo rtant woman and vibrant cultural figure in Ukraine’s history with the largest and oldest Ukrainian American women’s organization in collaboration with a leading Ukrainian American cultural organization . This is a unique partnership for what is sure to be a n historic concert series. Social Welfare Partners The tragic deaths on the Maidan, in 2014 and the full force of Russia’s subsequent invasion and war in regions of eastern Ukraine meant that UNWLA gave priority to providing humanitarian aid during the 2 014 - 2017 term. Several of t hese programs , such as the War Victim’s Fund , continued to be in place during the 2017 - 2021 term , but at a lower level of activity since aggression in the region had subsided
