Focusing on the Career Path that’s Right
for You
Despite the hectic pace of college life along with
countless options and decisions to make, how do
leaders determine and follow their passion without

their peers, and others? Panelists will discuss
how a focused awareness of your personal goals can
maximize your potential to be a leader in areas
that are most important to you.

Family, Cultural and Community Influences
Our family, cultural background and our community
influence and shape our perception of the world
and our ability to achieve. Whether spoken or unspoken,
these views of achievement play into how we see
ourselves as leaders. Cross-generational panelists
will share their experiences of how their families,
cultural upbringing, and immediate communities have
made them who they are today.

Mental Health Awareness within the Asian
American Women Community
In 2005, the US Department of Health and Human Services
reported Asian American women ages 15-24 have the
highest suicide rate of women in any race or ethnic
group in that age group. Suicide is the second-leading
cause of death for Asian American women in that
age range. This is one of the many sobering mental
health related statistics surrounding the Asian
American female community. Specialists in this area
will conduct an open forum to discuss the statistics
and contributing factors surrounding this often
over-looked topic, as well as ways to handle stress
and take care of ourselves.

Personal and Professional: The Balancing
Act
We always hear that one needs a fulfilling life
inside and outside of work: A fulfilling life outside
of work will help us become happier individuals
and more successful at work, while a promising career
will make us feel driven and capable. How do we
develop and maintain a sense of balance as we grow
both personally and professionally? Speakers from
various professional and personal life stages will
address how this balancing act affects our overall
development.
