This year’s theme, “We the People: Creating a Community of Change,” symbolizes the empowerment of people and grassroots movements that ultimately create change. As a vital component of the Asian Pacific American community, AASU works to build coalitions within its pan-ethnic community and the campus at large. This year’s theme, along with the month’s events, aim to educate the campus community about the history and issues of Asian Pacific Americans to inspire the formation of a stronger and more unified community.
