Welcome to AAPAAN
AAPAAN was conceived in the summer of 1998 as a collaboration of the Asian Student Union President and the Alumni Association. We are an inclusive organization dedicated to supporting the greater Asian community and those who have an interest in our multifaceted cultures. AAPAAN is here to serve you and the 30,000 Asian alumni of the University. As the largest minority UVA alumni group, we have influence, a voice, and the responsibility of using that voice wisely — to benefit not only Asian alumni, but also the broader University community.
Our efforts to build a strong alumni network will benefit not only students on Grounds and alumni worldwide, but also the future of AAPIs at the University. We hope that you will join the AAPAAN mailing list, attend our events, get involved, and support our mission.
