Asian American Student Union at UMD

Back to Teams

The Asian American Student Union hosts the Yuri Kochiyama Leadership Program, which leverages the guidance of Asian Pacific Islander Desi American college students and Asian American Studies minors to educate local high school students on Asian Pacific Islander Desi American issues and advocacy. Over five weeks of programming -  at no cost to the students - participants come together to learn about topics related to Asian American migrant groups, diasporic history, subverting Asian American stereotypes of success, cross-cultural student-led efforts to advance ethnic studies, healing from intergenerational trauma, and more. This past spring, the Asian American Student Union serviced a cohort of 22 high school students through 20 hours of programming.
