<\/a><\/p>\nThis year the New York City Asian American Student Conference (NYCAASC) would like to invite you to ask yourselves “Who are we as Asian Americans?” While often glossed over in history books and lumped together as a group, we are extremely diverse and have been an integral part in shaping American history. But don’t just take our word for it. By attending NYCAASC and the conference’s workshops, we hope to start a dialogue with you. We hope you’ll gain a better understanding of who you are as an Asian American.<\/p>\n
