Join us at the 27th Korean American Students Conference (KASCON), the largest and oldest ethnic student conference in the nation.

KASCON 27

The cultural status of Korea and the Korean-American community has shifted immensely even just within the past decade. Many prominent Korean-American figures have become leaders in numerous industries, and students yearn for the advice and mentorship from these role models. We believe that sharing the same space and time with someone you admire—someone you aspire to become like—is very powerful. For KASCON 27, we are focusing on bringing together world-class leaders to meet passionate, enthusiastic students and create lifelong relationships.
