This kickoff event for our mentorship program with TYAPN is happening! The program pairs TAP professionals and undergraduate mentors with students who are interested in having someone advise them on major and career choices. The kickoff will serve as a chance for those who have applied for the program to meet with their future mentors. This is an invite-only Facebook event for the mentors only to let the mentors know of the requirements for mentors.
Mentors are required to show up by 3:15 pm, but may optionally show up early by 2:00 pm if they are interested in listening to Elisa Chiu’s talk on her journey to entrepreneurship. However, her talk will be geared towards college students. Note that if you show up late, we will not be able to let you enter the room until the talk is over, at 3:15 pm, so as to not disturb the speaker’s talk.
Mentorship format: On average 3-6 meetings over 6 month period, on as needed basis. Note that you may not get paired with a mentee, as it depends on the availability of mentees within your major.
Time:
2:00 – 2:15PM Introduction of TYAPN & TAPS (OPTIONAL)
2:20 – 3:15PM Speaker Session: A Journey to Entrepreneurship with Elisa Chiu from Anchor Taiwan (OPTIONAL)
3:25 – 4:20PM Grab some snacks and Meet the mentors!

When Chi was a little girl in Taiwan, her mother made her memorize their new address on Happiness Road. From that childhood moment, to moving to the U.S. as an adult, and then having to return home after her grandmother’s passing, Chi continues to ask, “What is happiness?”

Synopsis:
TAP-Seattle would like to use the Seattle Taiwanese American Film Festival (STAFF) as a platform for aspiring Taiwanese American filmmakers to showcase their films. We are proud to present four short films that were featured at last year’s Taiwanese American Film Festival in Los Angeles, hosted by TAP-LA.
Four female protagonists encountered various life challenges – from being an Asian in a segregated America, adapting to a new country, working abroad, facing death and family affairs later in life. These stories from West to East showcase women’s journey through society, family, workplace, and love. The short films featured are: June, Jie Jie, Midnight Carnival, and Guo Mie.
**There will be a panel discussion following the screening of the four short films.
