The Student Government and the Office of the President hosted a second Courageous Conversations, an online series event, dedicated to providing an outlet for honest dialogue about the difficulties the Asian American Pacific Islander community has been facing.
Bao Duong’s message was clear: the eight lives lost six of whom were Asian women at three Atlanta-area spa businesses last month were more than just a number.
“I know sometimes victims can be summarized as a statistic, when really we are talking about such beautiful people and it’s important to recognize that,” Duong said. She commented that she was honored to be the only undergraduate panelist on Wednesday evening during the second installment of Courageous Conversations, an online event designed by the Office of the President and Student Government to build community and find solutions to topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
