On April 18-21, the Asian American Studies Program (AASP) and Asian and Asian American Center (A3C) is bringing an installation of yard signs to Cornell's campus. The purpose of this exhibit is to facilitate discussion on strenuous "success frames" that can persist among Asian American communities as well as be experienced by Asian American students.

Join Derek Chang (Asian American Studies; History) and Wai-Kwong Wong (CAPS) for a discussion on parental expectations and pressures that Asian American students face.

A limited quantity of boba tea will be served towards the end of the event!
