Near­ly 5.6 mil­lion South Asians live in the Unit­ed States. It is not surprising that the experiences of South Asian students in the United States are just as nuanced as the countries their families originate from. From the pressures to assimilate, to the stereotypes of being model students, this segment will aim to bring light to the true identities, dreams and aspirations of this growing population of students in the United States. The Center for Global Education in Partnership with The Culture Tree is proud to bring this Dabba Dialogue to our audience. Introductory Remarks Provided by Dr. Anthony Jackson, Vice President, Center for Global Education.
