Vision
We hope to engage
non-Chinese Americans in a constructive dialogue towards
promoting greater freedom, equality, and protection of minority
rights. In our efforts to encourage a diversity of ideas and
knowledge, we have structured the conference to include
interactive workshops and group-based activities. Our aim is
that, through these modes of peer-to-peer learning, conference
participants will not only absorb the ideas of our distinguished
speakers and panelists but also contribute their own thoughts to
the colorful, diverse discourse of opinions. By surrounding the
workshop/panel core of CAIC with cultural and social events
specific to Chinese Americans, we hope to create a rich CAIC
experience where we can explore, discuss, and celebrate our
common heritage, sharing it with the entire community.

CAIC2k3’s
theme is: "Walk the Spectrum: Explore to Learn, Learn to
Change." This theme highlights our committee’s commitment to
form a conference that will facilitate discovery and
understanding of the various views and identities of Chinese
Americans. We literally hope to “walk the spectrum” of Chinese
Americans, seeing who this vague term encompasses and examining
what makes us different and similar at the same time. Through
this process of learning and self-exploration, we hope to become
more aware of the issues that face Chinese Americans in general
and find possible solutions.
