What does the Asian Institute mean to students?
Students and alumni share their reflections in our Asian Institute Student Voices video.
At the Asian Institute, the education you receive will change the way you see the world.
You will gain access to a community made up of some of the brightest, most inquisitive people on campus. Here, you can build a lifelong network of friends and mentors.
The outside of classroom opportunities are endless. Whether you’re interested in joining a student union with CASSU; conducting hands-on research in Asia with the Richard Charles Lee Insights through Asia Challenge; taking part in the exchange and publication of ideas through the Taiwan Gazette, Synergy Journal, or Re:Locations Journal; developing your personal and professional network through the Asian Institute Mentorship Program (AIM); or more, the Asian Institute faculty and staff are here to support you.
Our sincere thank you to video participants Elizabeth Shaw, Mariah Stewart, Sarah Alam, Hui Wen Zheng, Deep Leekha, Mia Nguyen, Kana Minju Bak, Christal Cheng, and Mike Chen.
