From BeavrWiki

Our Mission

The purpose of the Asian Pacific American Student Union (APASU) is to provide a support group for Asian Pacific American students at Oregon State University and to educate the OSU community about Asian Pacific American issues and concerns related to diversity and awareness. APASU is a student organization that will work actively on campus and the surrounding community as a political, social, and cultural force to enhance understanding and awareness about Asian Pacific Americans. APASU serves as a resource for all students and organizations at OSU. By hosting political, social, and educational activities and events on campus, APASU exists to advocate equality and understanding for all students and community members.

Our History

During the end of Spring term 1997, a group of students and faculty gathered together and formed an organization that could be a support group for Asian Pacific American students. The group wanted to provide individual, social, academic, political, and cultural support that would help APA students feel welcome and succeed at OSU. Thus, the Asian Pacific American Student Union was born. At the end of Spring 1998, APASU was recognized for its success and achievement and was awarded the Student Involvement Award for the New Organization of the Year.
