Fall 2024 Activities
ASAB members and faculty advisors meet on select Mondays throughout the Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 semesters to discuss board-related business. As needed, ASAB may invite faculty or administrators to join meetings or arrange separate visits to departments and offices. These interactions help ASAB learn about campus operations, discuss and share the needs of the AAPI student community, provide recommendations, and offer support where needed.
