Hi,

Hope you're all well!

We wanted to remind everyone of some upcoming Williams Asian & Asian
American Alumni Network (WAAAAN) events.  Our first WAAAAN Connects of the
school year is TONIGHT, October 6, at 8:30pm ET, and our first Career
Panel, which will be on the Legal industry, is next Wednesday, October 12
at 8pm ET.  Both are on Zoom.  Please register for links below.

I understand the Asian American Studies Movement Kick-Off is tonight as
well.  If anyone has time to join WAAAAN Connects after the event, we'd
love to hear how it goes/went.

Look forward to seeing you online!  Please feel free to forward this email
to your membership and friends!

Best,
Shawei, Class of '96

*ABOUT VIVIA CHEN '78*
[image: vivia_chen_headshot_0158_large_print_adobe98.jpg]

*Vivia Chen '78* is an opinion columnist at Bloomberg Law where she writes
the “Unfiltered” column. A journalist with over 20 years of experience, she
previously wrote the highly popular Careerist column at The American Lawyer.

Incisive, snappy and sometimes irreverent, Vivia’s writings offer an
insider look at the business and culture of Big Law. She often writes about
gender and race in the legal arena, challenging the profession to improve
the promotion of women and lawyers of color in its ranks. Readers have
described Vivia’s writing as “honest,” “infuriating,” and “fabulously
grumpy.”

Vivia has received several honors for opinion writing, including awards
from The American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) and the
Jesse H. Neal Awards. Moreover, the American Bar Association inducted The
Careerist to its Blog Hall of Fame, and Business Insider named it one of
the 15 most influential legal blogs. In addition, Lawyers of Color named
Vivia to its "2020 Power List" that recognizes "the most influential
minority attorneys in the nation."

Born in Taiwan and raised in Houston, Vivia is a graduate of Williams
College and New York University School of Law.  She resides in New York
City with her husband and two daughters.
