The Asian and Asian American Center (A3C) brings together the rich diversity of Asian and Asian American student experiences to support a strong and inclusive campus community. A3C is a second home for Asian, Asian American, Pacific Islander, Desi, and bi/multiracial undergraduate and graduate/professional students, allies, families and friends.
