Subject: 2015 Undergraduate Rhetoric Conference Request
Dear Convention Committee,
My name is Lisa Zhao. I am taking RHET102 with Mary Hays this semester. I am really interested to participate in this year’s undergraduate rhetoric conference, and present my research result to people. The working thesis for my research is “Do Asian international college students have higher stress level than native student.” I will mainly use psychical research results to support my thesis. I will further talk about the main stressors, and possible ways to improve the situation. Here are some examples of my resources in MLA format:
Iwamoto, Derek Kenji, and Liu William Ming. “The Impact Of Racial Identity, Ethnic Identity, Asian Values, And Race-Related Stress On Asian Americans And Asian International College Students’ Psychological Well-Being.” Journal Of Counseling Psychology 57.1 (2010): 79-91. Academic Search Complete. Web. 9 Mar. 2015.

I will be available any time from 3-6PM on May 1st. I prefer to present my research in a poster form.

Best,
Lisa Zhao
