Jennifer Corriero "Taking Our Place in the World: Young People, Technology, and the World We Want."
Corriero draws on her unique experiences -- Microsoft consultant at age 19, one of Canada's most powerful women less than a decade later -- to help young people understand the opportunities that exist for them to contribute to, and shape, a more understanding, compassionate, and inter-connected world. Keen to make sure young women are at the forefront of developments in new technology, she draws on students' questions and ideas to shape an interactive and rewarding discussion.

Unbinding Our Lives performed by Christina Chan
In this powerful solo performance, Christina portrays three actual women from China in the 1800s and their personal stories of slavery, prostitution, and abandonment. Through this experience, Christina seeks to shatter the exotic, subservient, "China doll" image commonly associated with Asian women.
