Student & Campus Life

Asian & Asian American Center (A3C)

The mission of the Asian & Asian American Center (A3C) is to acknowledge and celebrate the rich diversity that Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi American (APIDA) students bring to Cornell and to   actively foster a supportive and inclusive campus community. We create and promote positive interactions to contribute to the multicultural education of all students and to the social/cultural development of leaders. A3C’s efforts are guided by our four pillars: advocacy, education, identity and  community-building. We strive to be an affirming and responsive space that enhances sense of belonging. All are welcome and encouraged to get involved and engage in our programs.
