  • 11/11 IMPAACT Conference

    Identifying the Missing Power of Asian American in Connecticut (IMPAACT) Conference is a leadership conference hosted by the Asian American Cultural Center (AsACC) and the Pan-Asian Council (PAC) at the University of Connecticut, Storrs Campus. This conference is open to all UConn Undergraduate and Graduate students, and students from surrounding universities and colleges.

    This year the theme is "The Perfect Edge: Sharpening Yourself". We want to present opportunities for participants to refine their intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, along with leadership development.

    This year, our keynote speaker is Mr. Tadashi Nakamura. He was named one of CNN’s “Young People Who Rock” for being the youngest filmmaker at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. The fourth-generation Japanese American recently completed Mele Murals, a documentary on the transformative power of modern graffiti art and ancient Hawaiian culture for a new generation of Native Hawaiians. This film will be screened during the conference.

    The conference will be held on Saturday, November 11, 2017 from 9:30am-4pm in the Student Union and Laurel Hall.

    The conference will be FREE to all UConn students
