2022 Program Participant Testimonials
AAD gave me the confidence I didn't have before to dive deeper into business/professional fields as a minority. The global economy as a whole can be very intimidating for Asians as it was not tailored to include us, but AAD gave me hope and motivation to keep pushing until I reach my goals. With AAD mentors at my side, I'm ready for anything the business field will throw at me. The entire program was inspiring and I really needed to know people like me that came before have faced the same problems I am but came out successful. |
All the people from the AAD were amazingly-driven people who are willing to give up their time to help AANHPI communities. The workshops and presentations were very insightful and the mentorship is very much needed for many of us who are lost in which direction and path to take. To have someone who is experienced and supportive will make a tremendous difference in the lives of students that have the desire to learn. Thank you so much. |
This program has helped me improve more skills in time management, communication, and teamwork. Having each meeting with my mentors has helped me adapt and feel more confident in my work and being able to communicate better with peers in class. I feel that working with my mentors has been super helpful in where I am at right now and helping me pursue what short-term goals I have as well as thinking about future long-term goals.
