In its infancy, APASU promoted academic classes and sponsored APIA cultural activities. Today, APASU greatly expanded its role as an organization that advocates for APIA issues in the community and on campus. Every year, APASU organizes APIA Heritage Month in May, bringing our heritage and issues to the forefront of the community. APASU also provides an excellent APIA Resource Center of novels, magazines, and videos that address APA issues, culture, history and identity. They are available in our office in room 29 of the EMU. Please feel free to drop by the office to ask us questions or just to hang out.
