Even after twenty-five years of KASCON, Korean American students continue to congregate in order to acknowledge the leaders of our time and to discuss the future direction of our community. We want participants to know that they are all relevant and active members of the community. Any and all interests, passions, and dreams provide the Korean American community with the breadth and drive that allow for it to truly grow. Each year students leave KASCON inspired by the stories of Korean American leaders who have followed their passions. It is, however, important for students to understand that successes of individuals is not what gives a community strength. It is the cooperation of innovative, interesting and dedicated members who use their strengths to create momentum for progress. Students must be able to see their endeavors as part of the greater movement dedicated to tending to the community’s needs. To grow as a community is powerful, because the great thing about a collective movement is that it benefits all members. My Moment, Our Movement.

The Mirae Foundation

Yale University is located in the historical and cosmopolitan New Haven. Equipped with both the comfort of a college town and the charisma of a city, New Have is accommodating to all, be it residents or visitors. As Yale President Richard C. Levin, a thirty-year resident of New Haven, notes, New Haven is “large enough to be interesting, yet small enough to be friendly.”

By day or night, New Haven is a busy town that is both family and college approved. From yarn stores to cozy cafes and dance clubs to fusion restaurants, New Haven is an animated destination that boasts a selection comparable to that of a large city. Between Yale Campus and the city as the backdrop, there are an infinite number of sites that will satisfy everyone’s interests. A day could be packed with a tour of Yale’s historic buildings and prestigious museums with stops along New Haven’s many cafes throughout the day, finishing off with light shopping and outing at one of the many theaters in the area. The options of attractions and activities are limitless. Visitors are sure to find the comforts of home, as well as the excitement of an escape!
