Since 2001, the National Asian American Student Conference (NAASCon) has been an active Asian Pacific American student political organization with the mission of EDUCATING, FOSTERING DIALOGUE, and MOBILIZING STUDENTS through proactive campaigns across the country on issues of importance facing the APA community. NAASCon strives to achieve its vision through issue advocacy, coalition building, and leadership development.
NAASCon's first national conference at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, November 2004 was an unprecedented meeting of student leaders that reflected the diversity of the APA student community nationwide. To that end, students of different ethnic groups, regions, and types of school systems, came together to network, socialize, empower each other and themselves, perform, dialogue, plan and organize campaigns and projects, and educate each other, to CREATE CHANGE, and to EMPOWER ASIAN AMERICA. This past November 2006, the 2nd biennial Conference took place at Northwestern University, with the aim to bridge movements and effect social change within our communities.
Our third and next conference will be held this coming October, at Emory University in Atlanta, GA: FROM VISIONS TO ACTIONS: LET'S GET OUR MOVEMENTS GOING. The conference aims to unite Asian American students to advance our collective goals and actions: how do we build and sustain movements and campaigns? How do we develop coalitions and universally advance a project of social justice?
In solidarity,
NAASCon
