The establishment of an AAPITC at Indiana University would play an integral role in the enrichment of our campus’ cultural environment and the experience of generations of Asian American students to come.

Coming into Indiana University last year as an Asian American, I had many qualms about finding a group and community that shared similar cultural experiences with me. I am happy that there will be another resource and space that would allow Asian American students to meet each other.

Asian Americans have been the fastest growing population group in the U.S. since 2000.
