Welcome to the Asian American Dream or AAD for short! Founded in May 2021, we aim to empower underserved (first-generation college attendee, low-income, FAFSA-eligible, attending a non-target school) Pan Asian American undergraduates to realize and achieve their unique vision of the Asian American dream, one that accounts for their lived experiences, career aspirations, and Pan Asian American heritage. Due to the model minority myth, there is a widespread misconception that all Pan Asian Americans are inherently well-connected, smart, and hard-working. Through AAD programing, we seek to dismantle the model minority stereotype and uplift the next generation of Pan Asian American professionals through our guiding mission and vision.
MISSION
The mission of AAD is to provide mentorship networks, professional development training, and career advancement opportunities for underserved Pan Asian American undergraduates, with the goal of helping them achieve their unique vision of the Asian American dream.
VISION
At AAD, we envision a world where all underserved Pan Asian American undergraduates are aware of and have access to mentorship networks, professional development training, and career advancement opportunities to achieve their unique vision of the Asian American dream.
