Ithaca College

Asian American Alliance (AAA) is excited to officially announce its events for Focus Asia Month 2018! Join us throughout the month of April for different events dedicated to exploring and celebrating Asian culture and identity!
   

THEME: In the age of balancing patriotism and dissent, Asian Americans are creating opportunities that we never had before. We are carving paths to better representation and creating spaces that address our unique needs as Asian Americans and as people of color. When we no longer accept the roles we are given, and instead fight for change, we are able to not only survive, but thrive.

FIRST GENERATION STUDENT PANEL: Friday, April 6 from 5-7 PM

Klingenstein Lounge

We're going to kick off Focus Asia Month with an identity panel with First Generation! Come listen to first generation students speak firsthand about their identities, the obstacles they face, the ways they overcome them, opportunities available to them, and what it means to them to be first generation.
