Read MoreThe Asian American Studies Program has been an invaluable part of my Cornell experience. While I initially began taking Asian American Studies courses as a way to make more meaning of my own Asian American identity, the breadth of courses I’ve taken through the AAS minor has pushed me to engage and think critically about ideas that span not only identity but also literature, art, history, politics, education, philosophy, music, and film. The program has helped me grow intellectually in ways that my technical major could not.
