Relationships are difficult. Being a young adult is difficult, too! Learning how to navigate the world can be frustrating and confusing.

This session is for young Asian women seeking a collective experience to grow and thrive.

Where: Boonie's Office, 34 Executive Park, Suite 275

'Americaville' screening and director Q&A

Hidden among Beijing's northern mountain range, a replica of the Wyoming town of Jackson Hole promises to deliver the American dream to its several thousand Chinese residents.

Join us for a screening of "Americaville," followed by a Q&A with award-winning director Adam James Smith.
When: Friday, Jan. 17, 4-6 p.m.
Where: McCormick Screening Room, UC Irvine, Humanities Gateway, 1070
