PASA (Pan Asian Student Association)

Our Mission Statement:
PASA is a space for the full expression of Pan-Asian voices. We are, first and foremost, a supportive and safe space. This is also a forum where the diversity within the Pan-Asian community is acknowledged, and the range of issues concerning such differences is addressed. We approach our group endeavors in a grassroots tradition, and strive to challenge inequality, privilege, and oppression.

PASA is a place where students can come together to connect to the larger experiences that come with being Asian, whether on a domestic or international level. PASA's initiatives reflect the ever-changing need of our community(s). We also value the relationships that our communities have with other communities of color and international communities. Our visions will be accomplished through education, empowerment, and action.

PASA holds meetings weekly for ALL students who identify as racially/ethnically Pan-Asian to come together and talk (usually with delicious food!). Though these meetings are closed, PASA also sponsors/co-sponsors various events throughout the year that are open to the Hampshire community at large!
