Power in Unity: Strengthening Communities Together
Join the UMGC community for an engaging conversation and moderated Q&A session focusing on the nation's Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) population. This group's members come from many countries, and their diverse cultures have helped enrich American life for generations.
The discussion will highlight the importance of leveraging the collective power of a community's shared values to foster innovation, resilience, and a sense of belonging; build on traditions; and inspire future generations to achieve continued success. It will also offer a current snapshot of how decisions in higher education, healthcare, the labor market, and other social or economic sectors affect the AANHPI community.
