FSU aKDF Guest Speaker

Thursday, April 2, 2015, CGE 2500; 6:30-7:30 PM

I along with two other guests were asked to speak to the FSU Chapter of alpha Kappa Delta Phi sorority on the subject of "Fresh off the Boat". The title refers to the new ABC sitcom of the same name which tries to show how an Asian American family tries to blend in the United States.

The meeting was for about an hour long. After the introduction of the three guest speakers (other two guests were students) we are asked to briefly describe our experiences in the US when we arrived. That was followed by questions by individual sorority members to all the guests and occasionally to individual guest. The questions ranged from how did you adjust? what did you find it hard to change? did you miss your country or culture? would you do it over again? was there are problems? etc

The one hour went well. Before the meeting began the trailer of Fresh off the Boat was shown and after the meeting there was 3 min comedy of Asian American students about the parents.
