Join us for a discussion on what it means to grow up as a South Asian American. South Asian American students are dealing with parental pressures, balancing conflicting cultures along with the unrelenting drive to succeed academically. Let’s try to find  what the meaning of success is as South Asian Americans. Join the conversation as we embark on a quest to find our own identity in multicultural America today.
