For the first time in over 20 years, the largest east coast Asian American conference is coming to Boston. At Boston ECAASU 2015, we want to challenge stagnant notions of APIA identity, igniting a bold movement to transform and critically inform the way we understand ourselves. For the first time in Boston’s history, students of seven organizations across six schools will collaborate to bring over
1200 APIA students together to discuss these critical issues. Over the course of three days, we will host workshops and panels at Harvard University to learn from each other and to witness the remarkable accomplishments of our peers. Through the marketplace filled with career opportunities and local vendors, ceremonies, and even the after party, we will foster connections across multiple aspects of our lives. No matter your sexuality or your citizenship, your ethnicity or your gender, we want to hear your stories, raw and unedited. We want to forge a powerful, active community that will empower Asian Americans to take risks, to defy expectations, and to chase after our goals. Join us as we ask difficult questions, tackle confusing and sometimes conflicting identities, and ultimately discover who we are and who we want to be.
