The AAFC is a day-long conference especially designed for Asian, Asian American and mixed heritage Asian students, both domestic and international. The conference aims to affirm, inspire, and empower young adults to embrace their Asian identity and forge their future. The event will begin with a keynote message that examines what it means to be Asian in America, followed by workshops that are designed to explore Asian culture and issues that Asian students face today. The keynote speaker this year is Mayor Lisa Wong of Fitchburg, MA. She is the first Asian American woman to be elected mayor in Massachusetts.
