Saturdays with SAPAAC speaker series: This is the second event in the series.

There is no single story for Asian Americans at Stanford and elsewhere. Priscilla Lasmarias Kelso came to America as an international scholar in the 1960's from the Philippines. Others came as refugees from war-torn countries or as asylum seekers with families needing to find a better, safer life here. Still others are second or third generation who have experienced much success in a country where you can reinvent yourself.

Embedded in these backgrounds are a wealth of personal stories that include trauma, resilience, survival. How do these stories shape who we are now and are we in touch with the invisible threads that connect us to our beginnings?
