The Life University Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ODEI) symposium "With Liberty and Justice for All: A Retrospective on AAPI Recovery and Resilience" focused on Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. The conversation took place on May 18, 2021.

Asian American and Pacific Islanders faced particularly egregious assaults on their liberties in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor during World War II and currently face threats to their safety and their very lives as a result of COVID-19. This symposium also included the historic contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders as well as the biases and stereotypes that persist for them in the U.S.

Many thanks to program anchor Life University Women's Rugby Head Coach Dr. Rosalind Chou and panelists Dr. Fuhua Lu, Associate Professor of Basic Sciences, and Dr. Sairagul Matikeeva-Kinney, Coordinator of International Programs in the Enrollment Department.
