哈佛学生Jason Qu将担任第五届CPAC教育日活动主题演讲嘉宾
以“培育栋梁、锦绣前程携手创”为主题的第五届CPAC教育日活动将于2012年10月27日在士嘉堡Mary Ward天主教中学内举行(3200 Kennedy Road, Scarborough，Kennedy夹McNicoll西北角)。
由加拿大中国专业人士协会教育基金会主办、加拿大汇丰银行主题赞助的CPAC“教育日”活动是华人社区每年举行的规模最大的教育活动之一。主要目的是为新移民家庭提供有关加拿大教育制度的信息和其他相关服务，帮助家长和学生在加拿大新生活中取得成功。活动举办四年以来，已为数以万计的学生及家长提供了实用的教育资讯。
与往年邀请社区名人或杰出学者担任活动的主题演讲嘉宾不同，今天主办方邀请了正在哈佛大学攻读法律博士学位的Jason Qu同学担任主题演讲嘉宾。Jason是一名名副其实的与CPAC一起成长的孩子，从小就与父母一起担任CPAC的志愿者，为社区服务。今年，正值CPAC成立二十周年之际，Jason将与大家分享他的成长故事及追逐“哈佛梦”的成功心得。另外，Jason的母亲也是一名有着移民背景的成功律师。届时，她也会到活动现场与家长们分享她的成功育儿经验。
主题演讲简介：
Good grades and hard work are no longer enough to succeed in school or in the workplace, especially for Asian students. This presentation will argue that the North American education system is not a classical meritocracy, and that a single-minded focus on academic achievement may be harming Asian students both inside and outside of the classroom. The speaker will address the importance of character, creativity, and good citizenship in the academic context, and will explore strategies to help students develop and demonstrate these qualities as part of their academic experience. The overall theme of this presentation will be the importance of having “vision”: a vision of who you are, and of how you can contribute to your community.
