United Asian American Organizations -- UAAO

 

United Asian American Organizations (UAAO), established in 1988, is a coalition comprised of member Asian/Pacific Islander American student organizations across the University of Michiganʻs Ann Arborcampus.  and serves as a clearinghouse for member student organizations. UAAO provides leadership on promoting awareness of issues facing Asian and Pacific Islander Americans, and increasing appreciation of Asian/Pacific Islander American cultures.  UAAO serves as a communications core for A/PIA student organizations, individuals and hundreds of events on the Ann Arbor campus. focuses on advocacy, community-building, and cultural awareness through events such as weekly metings, retreats, conferences, shows, and collaborations.

 

UAAO organizes three large-scale programs annually:

• Asian/Pacific Islander American High School Conference

• Asian/Pacific Islander American Heritage Month (celebrated nationally in May, but observed at UM in March-April)

• Generation Asian Pacific American -- "GenAPA"--the annual pan-Asian cultural show.
