Invited Speakers: Ming-huei Lam
Ming-huei Lam currently holds a position as the coordinator for the Minority Recruitment and Retention Program in the College of Education at Iowa State University. She has 14 years of experience working with people of color in social services, mental health, and higher education. Born in Taiwan, she came to the US as a teenager in high school. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Genetics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, a master’s degree in Counseling from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon, and is currently working towards her Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at Iowa State. She is best known for her commitment to diversity and multiculturalism, putting resources to use, advocating for students, teaching students self-advocacy skills, and building alliances and collaborating with family, community, and other support agencies.
Ming-huei’s passion in improving educational opportunity for students from various disadvantaged? backgrounds, especially for students of color with disabilities, was sparked when she worked as a lead case manager in a mental health day treatment program for adolescents. After she left the mental health field, she worked as a counselor for a TRIO student support services program for three years. The experience of working with students from first generation and low income backgrounds and students with disabilities was one of the catalysts for her to pursue doctoral studies in educational leadership and policy studies. She has completed her course work and is doing her dissertation research to find out how college students with attention deficit disorder make the transition from college campus to workforce.
