Asian American Stanford undergrads join Arar at the Asian American Activities Center (A3C) for a lunchtime discussion about career decisions, noon to 1pm. This event is part of the A3C Speaker Series. From the A3C website:
What should I do if I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up? What if I don’t even know what the options are? Should I go to graduate school? And what do I tell my parents if I don’t want to be a doctor? Arar Han, co-editor of the anthology Asian American X: An Intersection of 21st Century Asian American Voices, and now an MBA at the Stanford b-school, will be on hand with several of her classmates to share their experiences and provide constructive feedback on how to handle these tough career path questions.
NPR’s This I Believe
Arar rings in the new year with a reading on NPR’s “This I Believe” with host Jay Allison. The essay talks about home as a commitment to loved ones–no matter where they are in the world.
Join Arar as she leads a discussion entitled “Real Girls, Real Image” at the Massachusetts Conference for Women, 2:30-3:45pm on Tuesday, 11 December 2007 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
