IU-MIEN STUDENT CONFERENCE 15
What will your LegaSAE be?
Iu-Mien Community Services is proud to announce the 15th Annual Iu-Mien Student Conference (IMSC 15).
MISSION
To address the many needs of Iu-Mien youth the IMSC
committee has worked in partnership with Iu-Mien
Community Services (also known as United Iu-Mien
Community, Inc.) and the Sacramento City Unified
School District (SCUSD) to host an annual
educational conference with a three-fold mission:
(1) To empower youth to pursue higher education
and/or explore career opportunities
(2) To educate youth on the importance of preserving
ethnic culture, and
(3) To inspire youth to become community leaders.
IMPACT
IMSC has positively impacted the lives of over
10,000 youth. The IMSC committee has also awarded
scholarships to high school seniors to assist in
the costs of higher education. With the success of
this annual conference, many former Iu-Mien student
participants have gone on to public and private
universities, such as UC Davis, UC Berkeley,
Stanford, and many more. Now many IMSC “alumni” are
young professions working in various careers such
as: medical residency, nursing, student advising,
social work, accounting, management, law, etc.
GOAL OF IMSC 15
This year’s conference will focus on motivating
students to contribute to their community and
reflect upon the type of legaSAE they hope to leave
behind. Students will have an opportunity to explore
various issues in their communities and think about
the types of improvements they would like to make.
Through interactive workshops with topics ranging
from health, wellness, culture, academics and
history, students will learn how their ethnic
culture and personal identity can be incorporated
into the idea of “leaving a legaSAE”. We intend to
further equip students with the leadership and
analytical skills that will help them realize their
potential and start considering what their legaSAE
will be.
