After Dark Series

Program Description & Goals

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 purpose of the A3C After Dark Series is to provide students with an intimate and comfortable space in which to discuss serious issues that affect student health and well-being. The series aims to dispel misconceptions, increase awareness and help seeking behavior, and introduce students to resources on campus. The After Dark Series is a series of workshops led by professional staff.

History of the Program

In Spring 2007, the Asian American Activities Center launched the Asian American Health Initiative to gauge the health and well being of Asian American students. The Asian/Pacific Islander Health and Well Being Survey was conducted. Based on the data collected, the A3C created the After Dark Series to address critical issues identified in the survey, including body image, parental and academic pressures, sexuality, stress and social concerns.
