The Summer Institute hosted by the Southeast Asian Student Coalition is a 5 day 4 night week during the summer where high school students from all around California are brought to U.C. Berkeley Campus. These students are from low-income and under represented Southeast Asian refugee communities whose families have been affected by the Vietnam War. During this Summer Institute, the students are introduced to Southeast Asian Culture in an effort to tackle or help bridge the intergenerational gap resulting from growing up in the United States and living in a refugee home.
