The inaugural webinar of Columbia University Asian Faculty Association (CUAFA)'s leadership series, "Breaking Through the Bamboo Ceiling: Asian Americans as Leaders in U.S. Academia", focused on understanding the scope and root causes of the invisible barriers that impede Asian Americans from career advancement and opportunities. Esteemed scholars from Columbia University, Cornell University, University of Washington, and the Forsyth Institute shared their own experiences, what they have learned from their career paths, and explored ways Asian Americans can take to overcome challenges in the workplace.
