Who We Are

UC San Diego's Asian & Pacific Islander Student Alliance (APSA).
In 1970 , UCSD's APSA was originally founded as Asian American Student Alliance (AASA). Our organization is built upon on four pillars: cultural, academic, political, and social awareness and action. We focus primarily on support within the Asian and Pacific Islander communities, yet we do our best to support all.

CULTURAL

We encourage the awareness of our Asian & Pacific Islander heritage and history.

POLITICAL

We provide a safe environment where political issues can be addressed.

SOCIAL

We unite as a community and to provide a safe space for everyone 's voice.

ACADEMIC

We support one another towards completing a higher education.

Dinner Table Topics

Intergenerational differences are some of the things we, as Asian & Pacific Islander Americans may experience on a day-to-day basis that affect our attitudes and relationships within our families. No matter if you are well-versed in this topic, or are brand new to it, we welcome one and all to learn more and share our experiences with one another. Our discussion will be held on Tuesday, April 23rd from 6:30-8pm over delicious sambusas in the CCC Comunidad.
