Conference

Getting through College as a "Model Minority"

Author: April Samuelson (Iowa State University)

Abstract

Through this session we will show views of the Asian American students in the higher education environment. With a panel of Asian American students, we will gain the perspective of "college life" as a "model minority." Each stage of the college career (freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior) will be presented to discuss how the Asian American student deals with issues that surround the "model minority" stereotype.
