- [00:00:03.721]But a strong family can survive and flourish
- [00:00:06.641]even in the face of adversity.
- [00:00:08.922]That's one of the findings of research by

- [00:00:14.341]strengths of Chinese and Asian American

- [00:00:24.082]programs and to enrich families and relationships
- [00:00:29.001]and our children, our youth.

- [00:01:05.801]in the student's interests, and so she really

- [00:01:12.582]are and what the work she has to be done
- [00:01:15.062]so it's really a collaborative process that's
- [00:01:19.001]helped me grow a lot.

- [00:01:41.862]it takes a whole team and a whole department
- [00:01:44.561]to work together to help our students to grow.

- [00:01:49.682]really strong collaborative approach and
- [00:01:52.521]interdisciplinary research interest so that
