Students Reflect on Representation for Asian Heritage Month

To recognize Asian Heritage Month, the DeGroote Commerce Society (DCS) asked students to reflect on leadership and representation.

Five Asian-identifying student leaders, Aarthi Thommandram, Qiucheng Chen, Leonardo Lu, Wenjing Ding and Anne Llanora, answered the question: “What does representation mean to you in a leadership setting as a business student of Asian heritage?”

Through their answers, each student reflected on the impact diverse representation has in leadership, such as inspiring and creating a space for underrepresented voices, ensuring leaders have unique outlooks driven by heritage and values and fostering a sense of community.

DeGroote proudly celebrates the diverse cultures, heritage, achievements and contributions of Asian identifying students.
