    IMPAACT: Authentically Asian

    Our mission is to create a space where participants can explore the challenges of assimilation, reclaim their narratives, and embrace the diversity within the pan-ethnic Asian American experience. We encourage participants to be visible with their hyphenated identities, cultivating pride and agency in their multifaceted journeys. Through thought-provoking discussions, interactive sessions, and collaborative engagement, we aim to inspire pride, agency, and deeper connections that strengthen the sense of community and shared purpose in redefining what it means to be Asian American today.
