Asian American Activities Center
Old Union Clubhouse, 2nd floor
Dinner will be served. Please RSVP by midnight on Sunday, October 11th to Andrew at apip [at] stanford.edu.
Have your parents ever told you that your career options are either medicine, law, or business - that these are the most “secure” occupations availabe to Asians and Asian Americans? Or do you feel that you need to follow the more traditional path to pay back your parents for the sacrifices they made? But what if the traditional path just doesn’t fit with the major and career YOU would like to pursue? Come and learn from recent Stanford alumni on how they dealt with their educational and career path decisions. Come hear their stories about how they handled parents’ opposition and family responsibility, and how you can make it without an MD or a JD under your belt.

A3C After Dark Series:
Success cannot be measured solely by academic and social achievement. Achievement must be balanced with happiness and well being. To succeed at Stanford and beyond, it is important to optimize both physical and mental health through healthy lifestyle choices and habits. The A3C After Dark series aims to dispel misconceptions, increase awareness, and encourage dialogue about health and well-being topics relevant to Asian Americans, and to introduce students to resources on campus.
The A3C After Dark Series is geared for students interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and for those searching for a resource with which they feel comfortable. Future topics include discussions about Body Image, Coping Well with Stress, The Perils of Perfectionism and a workshop on How to Help Friends In Need.
