Mission Statement
Founded in the spring of 1995, the AAA is a student organization that strives to serve the Asian Pacific American (APA) community at Columbia. AAA is a collaborative organization that works with APIA and other student of color groups to reach members of the university and the outside community at large. In this way, it promotes understanding, fosters dialogue and creates awareness.
AAA's purpose is to educate themselves and others, to organize and to mobilize. They seek to cultivate a common understanding and a greater respect for the APA community.
The APIA community at Columbia is in a perpetual state of transformation. Inherent in the structure and goals of the organization is the ability to change in conjunction with evolving issues facing the APIA community. Nevertheless, AAA will remain true to its fundamental goal of serving the community by dedicating itself and its resources to student activism.
AAA Structure
Established in 1995, the Asian American Alliance is composed of three committees: the Political Committee, the Service Committee, and the Social Committee.
- The Political Committee, headed by the Political Chair of AAA, discusses issues of social and political concern and is the think tank of activism endorsed by AAA.
- The Service Committee, headed by the Community Chair of AAA, learns about and promotes awareness of issues affecting Asian American communities through civic-level organization, assistance, and service.
