Welcome!
We are the Asian Pacific Student Coalition (APSC) at the University of Pennsylvania! It is our aim to voice and support the common interests and concerns of the Asian Pacific Islander (API) community; to provide a forum for discussion, action, and exploration of issues of concern to students; and to present and to celebrate the richness of our diverse cultures and backgrounds to the University community and beyond.
OUR PILLARS
Community
The Asian Pacific Student Coalition is directed by a 7 member Executive Board and APSC representatives from each of its 23 Asian constituent groups on Penn’s campus. General Body Meetings on every other Wednesday bring all constituent groups together to discuss matters of concern, publicize upcoming events, and gather the support of the community in their individual endeavors.
Coordination
APSC activities include coordinating the Asian Pacific American Heritage Week (APAHW), the Resource Guide for incoming freshmen, and various events such as potlucks, socials, etc. APSC also participates in the development of the Asian American (ASAM) Studies Program and efforts to increase funding and resources at the Greenfield Intercultural Center (GIC) and the Pan-Asian American Community House (PAACH).
Collaboration
The Board collaborates with other minority coalitions in the 6B - the Latinx Coalition, the Lambda Alliance, UMOJA, and the United Minorities Council - as well as PAGE, the Penn Association for Gender Equity, on issues where our interests intersect.
