Welcome to the University of Utah's Asian American Student Association Page
AASA was established in 1992 under the direction of Dr. Karen Kwan and the other like-minded students dedicated to the pursuit of equity and social justice for their fellow Asian Americans.
The mission of the Asian American Student Association is to unite students with an interest in Asian American issues through social, educational, cultural, and political events; to negotiate with the academic administration to provide course designed to develop an understanding of the situation of Asian Americas in America's society; to create a social atmosphere that will generate cohesiveness among members of the Association; to maintain and provide an organization with high standards to fulfill the above purpose and to represent the needs of its members. The Association shall be an advocate for all Asian Americans within the state and will strive for equality in the areas of employment, housing, education, and all other social and economical areas of the community.
Over the past 21 years, our organization has grown from a small group of students to arguably the largest, most active student organization based on the University of Utah and in the state. To each of us, AASA is more than just an extracurricular activity -- it is our family and support system away from home!
