IU's 2024 observance of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month kicks off March 27th, 2024

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana University's annual observance of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month will begin March 27th, with the return of Asianfest, which features arts and crafts for children, Asian cuisine, cultural performances and a fashion show by IUB’s student cultural organizations, and a screening of “Ten Times Better'' by Director Jennifer Lin, as the opening event at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Although Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is celebrated nationally in May, the IU Asian Culture Center and our collaborators celebrate during April to accommodate the academic calendar.

Welcome to the Asian Culture Center

Based on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University, the Asian Culture Center (ACC) aims to promote awareness, understanding, and acceptance of Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures, history, and issues as an integral part of the fabric of American life in the United States.

The ACC, a program of the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, accomplishes this through advocacy, institutional resources, cultural and educational support, and community outreach activities that promote participation and dialogue with students, faculty, staff, and residents of Indiana.

One does not have to be of Asian or Pacific Islander heritage to be involved with the ACC. Everyone is welcome.
