New York City Asian American Student Conference (NYCAASC) is a student-run, non-profit organization, affiliated with Columbia’s Asian American Alliance and NYU’s Asian Heritage Month. We are dedicated to educating and empowering APIA youth from NYC to learn about and engage with current events—spaninng from grassroots organizing, community advocacy, and career-building opportunities.
Each year, we bring together around 100 high school and college students, creating a space to explore identity, learn about complex issues, and connect with others across NYC. This year we will be inviting keynote speakers: cinematographer Eric Lin & Dorothy Chow from the Death in Cambodia podcast.
Other workshop speakers include NYC Councilwoman Julie Won, Refugee advocate Jonathan Lam, Yuki Haraguchi from the W.O.W Project, and President of Stand with Asian Americans Rachel Lee.
