Upcoming speakers
The Alumni Speaker Series brings alumni back to campus to share their stories and career advice with current students and fellow alumni. Speakers have earned a University of Washington Tacoma degree, professional certification, or in special cases, have attended a University of Washington campus for at least two years and have graduated from another accredited college or university. This also includes UW alumni who live and/or work in Tacoma or the South Sound and have a positive impact on UW Tacoma, Tacoma, and the South Sound.
Nuk Suwanchote (SIAS '17)
Film Screening: Horizon Identities
May 28, 2024
6 - 7:30 p.m.
Carwein Auditorium (Keystone Building)
In honor of Asian and Pacific American Heritage Month, alumnus and filmmaker Nuk Suwanchote will screen his new short film about the Asian American experience at UW Tacoma, Horizon Identities. Suwanchote revisited his alma mater to explore the growing community of Asia Pacific Island students, staff and faculty on the Tacoma campus. This group discussed the complexities of growing up bicultural in a diverse city like Tacoma and how a college campus can be a natural environment to explore identity.
The film is the latest in a series of films called “Our Communities, Our Neighbors” produced by the Chinese Reconciliation Project Foundation and investigates the special community formed at the University of Washington Tacoma campus among the Asia Pacific Island students, staff and faculty. The film was made with support from Tacoma Creates and the Inatai Foundation.
The film runs about 30 minutes and will be followed by an alumni panel discussion with the filmmakers and other AAPI alumni. Light refreshments will be served.
Registration opens soon
