Baruch College (www.baruch.cuny.edu/studentaffairs/StudentLife)

The ASIAN STUDENT ASSOCIATION’s purpose is to promote awareness of the Asian culture, while keeping in mind the affects of American culture. The nature of ASA is a friendly, social environment for all students. We aim to allow students a place to meet other colleagues through various activities held in or near school. Academic excellence is a supported goal for members of ASA.

ASIAN CULTURAL EXCHANGE is a club where an eclectic number of Asian cultures – Japanese, Chinese, Indian, and many more – come together to show their pride in their race and ethnicity. Within this club, we hope to culturally converge to help those who are in the Asian minority – in this society – in hopes to gain a brighter future. We hope to make more people aware of their own culture and those cultures around to expand their knowledge.
