upcoming student conferences

This one's for you all you students, and I know there's a lot of you out there... East Coast, represent! The East Coast Asian American Student Union Conference (ECAASU), "Breaking Through," is happening next week at Yale University, February 9th-10th. It's the 30th annual conference, so it's kind of a big deal. And of course, they've got a cool schedule lined up of workshops, panels, speakers and entertainment, including rapper Jin, a screening of Eric Byler's Americanese, and that guy Jian Li, possibly now the most famous applicant Princeton ever rejected (you're famous, dude). The website says registration is closed, but maybe it's not closed, you know? Sounds like it's going to be a pretty good weekend.

Also, Midwest, heads up... the Midwest Asian American Student Union's annual spring conference is happening next month, March 9th-11th at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. Again, this is a great resource for all you students in the midwest (who says the coasts get all the love?), with a great lineup of workshops and events. Speakers include Karen Umemoto, Eric Byler, Dr. Glenn Fujiura, Shawn Wong. Heck, Americanese is screening here too! (Eric, you really get around.) For more information about the conference, go here.
