Description: How are college-age Asian Americans faring under the expectations of performing as the model minority? Research on the academic achievement of Asian Americans indicates that they are doing well and prospering in college and universities. On the other hand, rates of suicide among Asian American women aged 15-24 top those of any other race or ethnic group in that age bracket.
Professors Nolan Zane of UC Davis and Eliza Noh of Cal State Fullerton share their research on the mental health issues that face Asian Americans in the university context, followed by a town-hall discussion.
