Given the strong representation of Asian Americans in academia, one might assume that they are equally represented in higher education leadership. Not so, says Frank Wu, J.D., president of Queens College of the City University of New York.

In this engaging video interview with WittKieffer’s Philip Tang, President Wu speaks candidly about the challenges that Asians and Asian Americans face in reaching the highest levels of leadership. He reflects on his lived experience as the child of Chinese immigrants and discusses a new effort to support and enhance Asian American and Pacific Islander leadership in higher education.
