Naly Yang ‘96 was a member of an expert panel quoted in an August 26 Star Tribune story about how couples can balance finances with a desire to go back to school. Yang, the executive director of the St. Paul-based nonprofit Women's Association of Hmong and Lao Inc., said, "Some things to consider are: Is this solely for personal gratification or will you two benefit, whether financially or socially? Can this be a tradeoff so that I pursue a degree now while you pursue a degree of your own or a hobby later? Ultimately, however, a relationship should be based on more than financial expectations. Growth, whether as a couple or as individuals, also needs to be cultivated. Without that space in a relationship, things can go downhill pretty fast." Yang was a history and women's studies major at Carleton.

Kao Yang ‘03 was mentioned in an August 23 Asian American Press story about the University of Minnesota's Summer 2002 McNair Scholars. Yang, an American studies major with concentrations in cross-cultural studies and gender studies, worked on "The American Mosaic Project" with a member of the sociology department at Minnesota.
