"A Critical Evaluation of Opportunities and Challenges in Non-Technology Careers for Chinese Students and Graduates"

While Chinese students and professionals have excelled in science, engineering and technology careers in America, we have lagged behind other immigrant groups int he corporate boardroom and in high-profile local and national positions. Also, our traditional aversion, neglect and disdain for career opportunities in the arts, sports, public relations, communication, social and public service arenas limit our representation and voice in the American society, much to the detriment of our collective interest. A diverse panel of speakers will tackle various aspects of this important topic, as well as suggest solutions and non-traditional rewarding career paths for young Chinese students and graduates.
