Power of Diversity Lecture Series: Sam Hyun

Join the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusive Engagement for the next Power of Diversity lecture series event featuring Sam Hyun. The event will take place Friday, April 19, from 12:30 to 2 p.m. in Ballroom A of the Tinkham Veale University Center.

About the speaker

Sam Hyun is a diversity, equity, and inclusion speaker who has worked in raising awareness around anti-Asian racism. Hyun holds a master’s degree in public policy with a concentration in poverty alleviation as well as a Master of Business Administration focusing on social impact, both from Brandeis University’s Heller School for Social Policy and Management.

Hyun’s approach to speaking to an audience is engaging, authentic and relatable, whether that involves translating complicated and nuanced discussions on topics like race into understandable content that is lighter on jargon, or whether that is succinct and to the point, by not beating around the bush and being straightforward with the audience.

Hyun has been asked by leaders in other communities of color, such as the Urban League, Anti-Defamation League, and American Jewish Committee, to speak in solidarity with their respective communities against hate. He has been named one of The Boston Globe’s Bostonians of the Year. He has also been featured in Forbes, Good Morning America, the front page of The Boston Globe, and many other publications for his work. Hyun was also named one of the 40 Under 40 by the Asian Hustle Network and the National Association of Asian Pacifics in Politics and Public Affairs.
