Speaker Series
The A³C Speaker Series is a lunch series featuring faculty, staff, and off-campus professionals speaking on issues pertaining to academics, career options, public service and other topics. The purpose of the Speaker Series is to introduce undergraduate students to resources available on campus and encourage open discussions about various topics pertinent to the Asian American community. The general format of speaker series is very informal, allowing the speakers and students to interact in an intimate setting.
Freshmen in particular benefit from speaker series in the Fall because topics help first year students make a smooth transition to college life and provide an opportunity to meet various faculty and staff through informal lunchtime talks. Past topics include: “How to Avoid Model-Minority Burn-Out,” “The Pre-Med Thing: Is it Really for Me?”, and “How to Work with Faculty”. The line up for each quarter changes according to the needs and interests expressed by students.
The Speaker Series, sponsored by the Asian American Activities Center (A3C) is your opportunity to meet faculty and staff at Stanford in an informal setting. All sessions are from Noon – 1:00pm at the A3C which is located on the 2nd floor of the Old Union Clubhouse. A light lunch is provided. Bring your friends or roommate- everyone is welcome!
