Young Professionals Forum 2004: Local Approaches & International Impact March 31, 2004

Join the dialogue on U.S.-Korea relations from a familiar point of view - yours. Take part in shaping the dynamics of the Korean Peninsula from where you are. In YOUNG PROFESSIONALS FORUM 2004: Local Approaches & International Impact, we will explore the role of young professionals in U.S.-Korea relations through culture, policy-making and business.

"Perceptions and Images," the first event in the Young Professionals Forum 2004 series, examines common (and uncommon) perceptions of Korea and the United States, their peoples, cultures and economies, and how those perceptions shape the relationship between the two countries. Engaging panelists with diverse backgrounds will bring academic, cultural, business and personal perspectives to the table along with their experiences and thoughts from the Korean, American, and Korean-American point of reference.

Join us as we kick off YPF 2004 with the first forum, "Perceptions & Images." Make your impact on U.S.-Korea relations.

*Snacks and refreshments will be served
