The Asian American Legal Advocacy Center of Georgia (AALAC) invites Asian American parents, educators and teens to a seminar from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, May 24, in Duluth on how to get into college and what it takes to be successful there. Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese interpreters will be available.

Some of the topics include:

• How does the college admissions process work in the United States?
• What are colleges looking for in a successful college applicant?
• Does it help or hurt to be Asian American in terms of college acceptance?
