Asian Pacific American Studies Program

This week, students from Dr. Anna Pegler-Gordon’s Asian American History class (MC/HST 319) published and printed their collaborative book titled “Following the Apple Blossom: Spoken Stories of the Asian Diaspora in Michigan.” As part of the course, each student conducted independent oral history interviews which they used to write their essays for the book. Congratulations to these students for all their hard work this semester!

That’s a wrap on our annual APAS symposium! Thank you to all of the amazing people that made this event possible — we can’t wait for next year.

We’re celebrating the start of APIDA/A heritage month here on campus by highlighting the strength and stories of those who came before us.

Our leadership team gets a stamp of approval! Meet our new director and program assistants ☺️

Got ideas? We’re listening. This symposium is shaped by the communities who show up and speak up. Bring your perspective and submit by February 14th.

Thank you to everyone that came out to our Ramen Bar & Finals Study Night this past Wednesday! Best of luck to everyone studying for finals this week - you’re all almost there. We can’t wait to see you all next semester and to host more events 🌟
