The Asian American, Asian, and Pacific Islander (AAAPI) Center at Center serves to provide a space for academic achievement and connection between students, faculty, and the community. Our goal is to provide academic resources and opportunities for social and cultural connection in addition to promoting the AAPI academic programs on our campus. 

The AAAPI Center has sponsored various academic, social, and cultural events, including the annual AAPI Festival and the international hybrid conference on Asian popular culture. It has also hosted notable community members who connect with our students. Currently, the Center is developing signature programs and services to support students' academic success and address their social needs. Additionally, it will serve as a liaison to connect with AAAPI academic programs at Center.
