About Us

Our MISSION

To celebrate and share Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) heritage and diversity at the University of Southern California. APASA supports its member organizations and sponsors cultural events to foster unity and growth within and beyond the APIDA Trojan community. We strive to create a more united community, where students support each other culturally, socially and academically by educating each other with their heritage, history and traditions.
