How To Choose The Right Major For You Friday, Oct. 24 1:00 p.m. Burnham Hall #114 (Honors College Conference Room) Choosing a major is an important decision you need to make in college, but is also can be confusing, challenging, and stressful. How do you know what major is right for you? How do you balance family expectations with your own personal interests and talents? How much does your major matter for your future, anyway? Join us for an interactive workshop in a non-judgmental environment to discuss your own major/career concerns. Bring your questions! Presented by Corinne Kodama, Associate Director of AARCC and former Assistant Director in the UIC Office of Career Services.
Yul Kwon: Asian American Empowerment Monday, Nov. 3 4:00 p.m. Student Center East #302 Yul Kwon was the winner of Survivor: Cook Islands in 2006. With a B.S. in computer science from Stanford University and a law degree from Yale University, Yul has a diverse career spanning law, politics, business, and technology, and has also been featured in VIBE and People magazines. He will discuss the challenges and stereotypes he has faced as an Asian American, how to overcome them, and how he used Survivor as a platform to make a statement about the value of diversity and change perceptions of Asian Americans.
